Have Headache, Vomiting, Vertigo, Numbness On Head And Double Vision. Done MRI, Ct Scan, Spinal Tap. Cancer?

my son is in the hospital with double vision in his left eye when both eyes are focusing, severe headaches, numbness on the top of his head & in the back of his head. He had vomiting & has vertigo along with it. They did CT scans & an MRI showed something but they don't know what it is. A spinal tap was done this morning & one doctor said it 'could' be cancer. What type of cancer could he possibly have?

Dear friend
Thanks for your query to Healthcare Magic....

I read your concern and your son is more likely to have tumour / growth in parietal lobe of brain which can be due to trauma or genetic variation .
You can get a higher opinion from Neuro specialist who can definitely save your son from double vision and vertigo .
Sometimes oedema which can be drained by Neurosurgeon can reduce intracranial tension and can reduce symptoms in a week .

Hope this will be useful
Ask me if you have furthur queries
