What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For CNS Disorder?

Almost 2 years ago i fractured my skull in 3 places, i bled from my ear, and one of the 3 fractures was where my jawbone connects to the skull, since then i have had frequent dizziness and migranes, i cannot smell unless something smells extrememly strongly and even those things dont smell right, i cannot taste the same either, the dr found that a i had a cns disorder and recommended vestibular therapy, but i was pregnant and just delivered this halloween! my question is, are these characteristics of a vestibular nerve damamge or could it be something worse? and why couldnt he do the therapy while i was pregnant?

Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,

Vestibular nerve damage causes dizziness and imbalance. Loss of smell and taste can not be explained on the basis of vestibular nerve damage, they indicate olfactory nerve damage. Please get evaluated by a neurologist and get an MRI brain done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
