Can MRI show the cause of recurrent dizziness and headache?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My wife is 34 years old, and she is having recurrent dizziness and headaches. So, she got an MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan of the brain. I have attached the reports for your better understanding. Your advice is much appreciated.

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. You will need to see a neurosurgeon, who will be able to examine her and analyze the MRI in detail to determine the best possible treatment strategy for her. Best wishes.
