Neurology


    
Asked by sianne1 (Female; 21 ) on Thu 27, Aug 2009 08:52pm

Hi, I have been having this problem on and off for about almost 3 years now. After I wake up in the morning, sometimes It'll last for hours, to days my problem. I went to two neurologists and the first one had me get an MRI and that was negative for cancer and aneurysms. The day I went to get the MRI some guy asked me how much I had to drink. I couldn't see nothing down the hall like maybe 20 yards or so, and my vision is 20/20. I replied to him that I had nothing to drink. The way I was walking was the reason why he asked. Ok I had nothing to drink, I don't do drugs, so what could it be? It seems to me that it has to be neurological because of the way I was walking. I get irritated easy, head pressure(very bad), light sensitivity and sound. The only way that It'll kind of go away is if I lay down. The pressure will then subside. I just found it on the net like 5 months ago, that it kind of resembles a CSF Leak. I went to the neurologist (a different one) to get a second opinion, and all he prescribed me was topomax because he thought it could be a migrane, and hydrocodones. The topomax did nothing. The hydrocodones help with the pressure a little. If any doc on here can help me i'd really appreciate it a lot.

Answer by Dr. Rajgopal, MBBS  on Thu 27, Aug 2009 09:06pm:

Hi, The symptoms seem to be those of an increased intracranial pressure. The common causes are- Aneurysm rupture and subarachnoid hemorrhage, Brain tumor, Encephalitis, Hydrocephalus, Hypertensive brain hemorrhage, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Meningitis, Severe head injury, Subdural hematoma, Status epilepticus or Stroke. Your MRI is clear. Please go for a spinal tap procedure or a lumbar puncture to measure the ICP. Please consult the neurologist and discuss the possibility and management plan with him as an increased ICP is an emergency. Please consult an eye specialist for an eye examination also.Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
