Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. It is difficult to answer without seeing your MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) films or reports. However, generally speaking, the backbone is unlikely to "break" if tuberculosis has completely healed. You can meet a neurosurgeon or spine surgeon if you are worried and they will see the old MRI and advise you of the necessary tests.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The MRI (attachment removed to protect patient identity) does not show a residual or recurrent tumor, as per what you have written as part of the MRI report. Hisone (Hydrocortisone) is a steroid supplement for hormonal imbalances, which may occur after pituitary surgery. The so-called 'residual tumor', which you have interpreted, may be postoperative changes that are common after pituitary surgery. If the four points that you have written are what was written on the report, then you should not worry.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Sorry to hear this. Based on the MRI reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it seems that there has been damage to the optic nerves, which is responsible for eyesight, due to tuberculosis. Unfortunately, her vision loss is longstanding, and in general, the chance of vision restoration is very low. However, it is very difficult to comment on this without more clinical details, examination of the patient, and thorough analysis of the MRI films.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I am sorry to hear about your mother. I have seen her MRI reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Going for lumbar puncture (LP) drainage, and then checking for a clinical improvement, before a shunt, has a better chance of determining the overall success of the shunt surgery. So, this is the preferred approach.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Seizures can occur following a brain hemorrhage. His current medications, Phenytoin and Clobazam, are anti-seizure medications.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Unfortunately, the report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) says that there is a mass in the brain, most likely a cancerous growth. IT is most probably a high-grade glioma or lymphoma.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Sorry to hear about your condition. Your symptoms match the diagnosis of cervical spondylosis. Unfortunately, along with neck pain and arm pain, you also seem to have developed weakness in your left arm due to pressure on your nerves in the neck. A physiotherapy is a reasonable option, but you should also consult a neurosurgeon since arm weakness has to be treated early, else it may become irreversible if left alone for a long time.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) report shows evidence of wear and tear of the lumbar disc with some pressure on the nerves (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is difficult to suggest the treatment without examining you in person. However, generally speaking, it is possible to treat lumbar disc disease without surgery with medication and physiotherapy. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I am sorry to hear this. The short answer to your question is that yes. Memory, recall, attention span can all be negatively affected after a head injury. This is dependent on multiple factors like age, associated illness, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, surgery, post injury rehabilitation, etc.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) is suggestive of compression of the spinal cord in the thoracic spine. There is also some swelling within the cord (cord edema) because of the compression. You can wait till the neurosurgeon sees you and is able to examine you in detail. Though unlikely, if you feel any weakness in the legs or develop any bladder or bowel incontinence, then you should consult your doctor immediately.
