Brief Answer:
Further evaluation of your temporomandibular joint.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for being on follow up.
An MRI with contrast is necessary to evaluate specific intracerebral lesions that are excluded in your case, due to your long history of symptoms and previous imaging findings.
In my opinion, a Ct scan of your temporomandibular joint is necessary, since the last one was done 4 years ago and raised suspicions about the temporomandibular joint degenerative disease.
The area pointed to the picture may represent radiation of the discomfort arising from the temporomandibular joint.
Get back to me after the CT scan result.
Take care.

Hi, I have provided some attachments. Please review them.
Brief Answer:
Tests explained below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Thanks for providing the additional tests results.
The MRI and PET scan results are fortunately normal.
Fetal origin of the left PCA is not related to any clinical issues, so, it is an incidental finding.
NCCT shows some problems with your sinuses, but the condition seems to be mild.
However, it is necessary to clarify whether these sinuses problems interfere with the Eustachian tube function and drainage or not.
The CT report does not include the left temporomandibular joint structure, so, a review of the CT scan, or a targeted examination of the joint is necessary.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards.

In my opinion, both, TMJ dysfunction, or degenerative changes, and Eustachian tube dysfunction should be considered and possible causes of your issues.

Brief Answer:
Slight degeneration.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
I examined the CT images of your temporomandibular joint.
Images you provided show only bony structures and I don't see anything serious about any bone condition such advanced degenerative changes, bone spurs, etc.
There seems to be a difference in the sclerotization of the left mandibular head bone, but it is inconclusive.
The CT you provided does not visualize the meniscus of the TMJ.
For a more accurate evaluation of your left TMJ condition consider arthrocentesis of the joint and TMJ arthroscopy.
Hope I helped you.
Teke care.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Since you are insisting about your left TMJ discomfort is related to the sleep disturbances, I believe you, there should be something wrong with your TMJ.
I don't believe that the ultrasound is conclusive about the diagnosis.
Direct arthroscopy is the best tool to achieve a correct understanding of the TMJ status.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
MRI is okay to be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
I saw the report of the Oral and Maxilofacial Doctor.
He is asking an MRI of the TMJ in two positions, open and closed mouth.
This may help to evaluate any issues with the muscles, meniscus and tendons of the TMJ, so, I think it is okay to have it done.
Botox injections may help in relieving muscles spasms that may contribute to the TMJ dysfunction.
I think that arthroscopic evaluation should be done also after the MRI in order to complete the necessary tests for a correct diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
