Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I received your neck MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images and saw them now. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There is a loss of cervical lordosis (straightening of your cervical spine). There is squaring of the vertebral bodies.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your symptoms and your question. It may be peripheral neuropathy. I would like to know your age and whether you have diabetes. If you have any back pain radiating to the legs, then it can be a spinal problem.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. When a scan is normal, and the patient still has continued seizures, it is difficult to explain for doctors and the patient's family. But it is manageable. They will give multiple anti-seizure medicines until the seizures are entirely under control.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I do not quite agree with post-polio syndrome. Post-polio syndrome after all these years is quite rare. From a neurosurgical point of view, when I look at her MRI of the cervical spine (attachment removed to protect patient identity), there is a significant disc bulge present at C5-C6. There is compression from both anterior and posterior sides.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have seen all the attachments you sent (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your father's symptoms are basically due to dementia. His brain is not functioning well. The multiple areas of his brain have not received enough blood and so there is dysfunction of them.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. I agree that the dosages have been increased quite a bit. But, the myasthenia precrisis is treated this way only. Coexisting viral fever in chikungunya may be the added reason to increase the doses on the higher side.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The hyperactivity he is showing is because of the damage to his temporal lobe. It can be due to abnormal electrical activity arising from the damaged temporal lobe and adjacent areas. The good thing is that he is on his way to recovery. But at the same time, we need to control his hyperactivity.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I reviewed the scan reports of your father. The clot that he had is called chronic subdural hematoma, which usually occurs in aged persons due to brain shrinkage. Due to shrinkage in the brain, a space is created between the brain and skull. If the bridging vessels in the space get injured, hematoma can occur in due course of time.
Hi, I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries. I understand your concern and will try to help you with it. I understand the issue. In my opinion, the finding in your MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) suggests that some of the nerve coverings (neuronal coverings) in your brain have weakened. The changes are subtle, not to that extent when we can call it a disease. Giddiness you have is very less likely to be directly related to these changes but we can relate it to the probably associated weakness in the coverings of the balance nerves.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have analyzed your MRI images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There are age-related minor changes in the scan. But nothing is alarming in the scan. The tinnitus that you have can be because of isolated eighth nerve or inner ear involvement.
