Bit worried about ct, mri and mra results

[woodsyred]

Hi I have just had ct, mri and mean with dye as I have been suffering with vertigo dizziness and headaches with numbness for over a year. Have now been referred to a brain surgeon as they are still confused on results.

This the conclusion 11 mm lesion abutting arising from the right anterior Pons, of indeterminate nature. The lesion could be intra or extra axial, the former is favored.
An exophytic,  intra axial lesion such as cavernous or low grade glioma are also difficult to exclude.

Feeling very low at minute.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament. It needs to be determined if the lesion is causing your symptoms. Compression can affect the cranial nerves and cause drowsiness. Further imaging studies like an MRI or an MRA may provide more insight.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Blepharospasm is a neurological condition characterized by forcible closure of the eyelids.
Blepharo means "eyelid". Spasm means "uncontrolled muscle contraction". The term blepharospasm ['blef-a-ro-spaz-m] can be applied to any abnormal blinking or eyelid tic or twitch resulting from any cause, ranging from dry eyes to Tourette's syndrome to tardive dyskinesia. The blepharospasm referred to here is officially called benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) to distinguish it from the less serious secondary blinking disorders. "Benign" indicates the condition is not life threatening and "essential" is a medical term meaning "of unknown cause". Patients with blepharospasm have normal eyes. The visual disturbance is due solely to the forced closure of the eyelids.
Blepharospasm should not be confused with:
Ptosis - drooping of the eyelids caused by weakness or paralysis of a levator muscle of the upper eyelid
Blepharitis - an inflammatory condition of the lids due to infection or allergies
Hemifacial spasm - a non-dystonic condition involving various muscles on one side of the face, often including the eyelid, and caused by irritation of the facial nerve. The muscle contractions are more rapid and transient than those of blepharospasm, and the condition is always confined to one side
