Hi doctor, My 21 year old sister got cerebral infarction because she talked to father after 15 years and big emotions were involved. One of her pupils of the eye became larger and she could not see properly. Doctor has done CT and confirmed it was cerebral infarction. She is already fine for the moment, but I seek help for a second opinion. May this affect her in the future? What should be avoided? I guess contraception definitely. It happened for the first time. She takes medication for asthma and allergy, but not regularly.
Hello. Still need further evaluation. MRI brain and orbits with contrast, also may need MRI spine with contrast, visual evoked potential, somatosensory evoked potential, ANA (antinuclear antibody), anti-dsDNA (anti-double stranded DNA), C-ANCA (cytoplasmic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody), P-ANCA (perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody). 1. Optic neuritis (cause to be looked for). 2. AION - acute ischemic optic neuropathy. Optic neuritis (optic nerve inflammation). Revert back with the reports to a neurologist online.--->
