Had Migraine, Blurred Vision, Vomiting, Headache. Been Told The Lateral Ventricles Were Enlarged And An Odd Shape
My 13 year old son experience a "migrane" this summer on a golf course which consisted of blurred vision, vomiting, severe head pain and slurred speech. Was taken to an ER given fluids, fenigrin and a CBC was completed. Blood results indicated some sort of infection and was put on antibiotics. Symptoms resolved. Today I received a call from my son at school with same symptoms. I took him immediately to pediatrician. He ordered a CT which was performed. No bleeding, blockage or tumors were seen. However, I was told the lateral ventricles were mildly enlarged and an odd shape. They did not present as a mirror image. Recommended that we see a Neurologist. Can you share any insight if there is any relationship between symptoms and enlarged ventricles.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I am really sorry for the health of your son, and I hope for the good results from all the way, look Mam! here the sing and symptoms have more concern than the imaging study, of course we usually go on correlating the clinical sign and symptoms and the imaging results if does not correlate then we are looking for something else, here in your son's case it does not give any clue, so better to go for MRI study, I personally feel that observing the imaging plate and reading brief report or interpretation report makes lot of different, for sure I could say that there must be some cerebral pathology which need to be investigated, take care of your kid and have good day.
