Consistent presence of cavum Septum pellucidum

[Nasifa]

Dear All,
I am a 23 year old and I have been suffering from migraine for 13 years but recently the problems associated with and without migraines got worse including severe mood swings, irritability, depression, dizziness, hallucinations etc. On doing an MRI last week, the reports stated consistent presence of Cavum Septum Peluucidum. can anyone tell me if my conditions will get worse.

Thank you for your response Dr. Santos. but when you say trauma do you mean physical or psychological? Can you please explain what could cause obstruction?

[Dr Santos]

Hi,
How are you? Aside from cngenital causes, there have been studies that show presence of cavum septum pellucidum may be associated with previous history of trauma. It can become symptomatic if there is obstruction which could lead to raised pressure or hydrocephalus. There are many factors to consider in determining the outlook including your medical history, symptoms present, or results of other diagnostic tests. It is best that you discuss this with your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
