Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The signs you described are non-specific but should be checked. Especially, if headaches are followed by vomiting, you have had multiple prescription glasses changed rapidly, loss of smell, and have trouble expressing yourself verbally. There are quite a few diseases that give these symptoms, from a simple sinusitis to more complex neurological diseases. So, you should book an appointment with a local neurologist and perform a cerebral MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. From the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity) that you have provided, it is possible to see a fracture on the pars(the rod connecting the anterior part of the vertebra and the vertebral body to the posterior elements). The flexion-extension x-ray does not show an inability, but still, the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) report indicates an L5-S1disk herniation, which at your age could be an indirect sign of spinal instability. The back pain can also be a sign of spinal instability. Unfortunately, the MRI is quite old, so you should do another MRI and also a lumbar CT (Computed Tomography), as this excellently presents bone anatomy.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thank you for your query. I have thoroughly examined the submitted MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) slices (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity), and unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis based on only eight slices. In slice eight, there appears to be a downward migration of the cerebellar tonsils, but the length cannot be accurately measured, making it challenging to confirm a diagnosis of Chiari Syndrome. Additionally, there is no evident dilatation of the cervical central canal, which is commonly associated with Chiari Syndrome, although it is not clearly visible in the slices examined.
