Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello !
Thank you for the question on HCM! I understand your concern.
In my opinion the troubles you have had may be related to a seizures, a type of Epilepsy or a transient ischemic attack related to the inflammation inside the brain. It may be a tumor, a vasculitis , or a brain infection.
I would recommend to consult the MRI with a neuro radiologist , who has more experience in brain MRI than a family doctor. The consult with the neurosurgeon will be helpful. If a lesion is seen in MRI stereotactic byopsy or a total removal may be taken into consideration.
An EEG would be helpful in case of seizures.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Abaz Quka
