Suggest treatment for dizziness, blurred vision and balance problems
Answered by
He claims the dizziness, vertigo is all related to the whiplash injury and the herniated disc i have in my neck.
I just want to be sure this result is not indicative of a brain cyst. In addition since my prior mris of the brain did not show this i was wondering could this be a result of the accident?
I should mention that when my neurologist was reviewing the results with me he said that this radiologist where i took the mri tends to over read the films.
Any insight is appreciated.
Thank you for your input. I guess I dont have to worry about a cyst since there would be more issues scene on the MRI even without contrast, correct? I am going to give you an excellent rating as you have been responsive and more than thorough
Thank you!
Don't worry about mega cisterna magna.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Krissyc2036
Thanks for writing to HCM
As we discussed earlier,you shouldn't worry about mega cisterna magna.It is a completely benign condition and it is just a normal developmental variation.
It is a harmless condition.
Your symptoms are due to nerve involvement in cervical region. Intervertebral disc prolapse causes compression on the exiting nerve roots and this causes symptoms.
There are many treatment modalities available for disc prolapse which can be discussed with your neurologist like TENS(Trans cutaneous electric nerve stimulation),ozone ablation,endoscopic disectomy etc.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
Take Care

MD Hi. My 5 year old daughter had an MRI done and they found that she had 2 brain cysts. Her doctor sent her to a neurosurgeon who we saw today. He said that we should just watch and wait. I've done a lot of reaseaching on cysts and I asked him what type of cysts she had. He told me that you can not determine the type of cyst unless it is taken out. I've heard of a lot of people who know what type of cyst they have. So my question is, can you determine what type of cyst it is by reading the MRI? And also, how likely is it that a cyst will pop? Are there precautions that need to be taken so they don't pop; should she not particpate in sports, or spin around or go on rollar coasters, etc? Thanks for the help.
MD hi, I am salma. last 3 days ago I was going to my dr. before that I had CT scan and the report is coming the report says I had brain cyst in the back side. but I have no pain at all, only when I laugh very loudly then I feel pain in the back and dr. said may be that is not harmful for me. .but when I heard that I have a cyst I am to much upset. now what can I do for myself? what is good diet for me? in future what happen to me?
MD I was diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst that is growing in size. My question is, could the cause of this cyst be related to my stress disorder? Now I am being currently diagnosed with a Dissociative Disorder . Basically, I feel the cyst is a manifestation of my psychological trauma not the other way around. I have been diagnosed with Complex PTSD. Now I have an arachnoid cyst that is growing in my right anterior middle cranial fossa.....whatever that really means. The right side of my brain. I was first diagnosed in 2006. The cyst was smaller then. Now I had a recent MRI because of symptoms my doctor was concerned about. Now she is sending me to a neuro surgeon. So my question to you is again, does this cyst represent my past abuse and is showing itself in my brain as a cyst? I know my psychological symptoms are not because of this cyst. I think I need validation from a doctor s stand point. Does sever psychological stress and trauma cause brain cysts?
