Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.I feel sorry for all the pain your father is going through. From your history, I come to the conclusion that your father had a TIA (transient ischemic attack) (a type of stroke, which is a temporary obstruction to the blood flow to a specific part of the brain). MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) brain (stroke protocol) with MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) brain is the best investigation for it.Please do it as soon as possible, as further treatment depends on it.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. Your CT (computed tomography) brain shows a 4-millimeter colloid cyst with no hydrocephalus (HCP) (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). Colloid cysts are known to cause temporary HCP (this gives rise to symptoms), HCP goes on and off, and a change in posture can be seen. As soon as the HCP (hydrocephalus) settles, the symptoms of the patient do improve.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I feel sorry for your frequent headache issue, but the good thing is that we have a diagnosis, which is Arnold-Chiari type 1. You need to do a screening magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine to look for associated findings like a syrinx within the cord. Surgery is indicated in your case; this will help you significantly reduce your headache. It would help if you had frequent follow-ups with your neurosurgeon postoperatively.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understood your concern. You have undergone spinal fusion surgery, and based on the reports you have attached (attachment removed to protect patient's identity), the surgical site seems to be healed well. In your case, lifting heavy weights should be avoided due to the weight transfer and the axis passing through the vertebral bodies and rods. The thin rods used in the procedure may have a risk of breaking, and there is a possibility of screws becoming visible or dislodging.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I feel sorry for all the pain your sister-in-law is going through. Hydrocephalus is a difficult problem to treat.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have seen the CT scan (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your brother has a head injury for which he needs hospitalization.

Based on the information provided, it appears he is dealing with a bilateral psoas abscess and spondylodiscitis, which is a concerning medical situation. I would suggest the following: Investigations: It is essential to conduct a comprehensive set of tests, including CBC (complete blood count), LFT (liver function tests), RFT (renal function tests), blood culture sensitivity, urine culture sensitivity, ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), CRP (C-reactive protein), and HbA1C. MRI LS (magnetic resonance imaging - lumbar spine): This is crucial for a detailed evaluation of the lower spine.
Hi, Sorry for the pain you are going through. To find out CSF leak, investigation in cases like you is CT-cisternogram. ( spontaneous CSF leak has been reported in patients). You can sit in forward stupping ( bending forward) position, collect some fluid and send it for beta-transferin test ( specific test) for CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid). Blood patch does not cause pituitary to get enlarged or displaced. Your pituitary gland appears to be displaced and enlarged, this could be due to physiological changes happening in female, to rule out any pathology get pituitary hormone study ( prolactin, TSH, GH, ) in raised then do a MRI BRAIN (P+C) (pituitary protocol).
