Hello doctor, MRI report shows: Left cerebellopontine angle arachnoid cyst measuring 18 x 12 x 10 mm displacing 9th and 10th cranial nerves ventrally. Misc- prominent bilateral level 3 lymph nodes also left level 2A lymph node measuring 29 x 11 mm. I went to an ENT because I was dealing with terrible pressure in my head and also pulsatile tinnitus. I constantly hear my heart beating or blood pumping in my left ear. I have had grand mal seizures and a febrile seizure when I was a toddler. In 2018 they did not see anything in my CT scan. ENT referred me to a neurologist for the pressure in my head being migraines and also to a neuro-otologist for the cyst who then referred me to a neurosurgeon that I have not went to due to Covid-19 outbreak. Only procedure I ever had done was an epidural injection in my lumbar for bulging disc, which after the procedure I dealt with massive head aches. Doctor told me they would subside. I am 21 years old. I am just looking to see some opinions on this matter and how it should be treated. Forgot to add in I have been dealing with neck pain also now.
Hello. I would like to know more about your headache, heaviness in head like the location of pain, frequency, severity, a particular time of the day when it occurs, associated vomiting, nausea or blurring of vision. How long does it last? Does it require medicines to be taken always? I also would like to know tinnitus is in the left ear only? Any medicines for seizures? Also, it would be nice if you can send images of MRI to have a better idea about the arachnoid cyst. Please elaborate on the problems and answer all these questions and send MRI images so that I can suggest you better.
