Avatar n tn So I went for another visit about 3 weeks ago and he said it might be a inner ear infection or possibly allergies and prescribed me a antibiotic to stop the inner ear infection and a allergie med. I left the dr. feeling like this was def. going to help me because he sounded pretty sure about the inner ear infection. Now three weeks later i stopped in today for an appointment and its worse than ever!! Now I have dizziness almost all the time, almost total loss of balance and nausia.

Avatar n tn Well an inner ear problem could affect one's sense of balance. Did you get the results yet of the additional scans?
Avatar f tn The first time I saw him, he ordered a test where I had these wires on top of my head and on my ear lopes. He stated that the results were normal. I then went for an MRI that focued on my inner ear and nerves. This was in November, and this is when they discovered the cyst. He would not give me details on the size, etc. I figured it was because the test was for my ears and nerve endings.
Avatar m tn I have an appointment with my ENT on may 3rd, but i would love to take an MRI of my ear to rule out anything else. I call the clinic for MRI, they need to know exactly what MRI to ask. Can an MRI identify eustachian blockage?? Thanks.
Avatar m tn Brain calcifications are seen in a large number of patients and are of little consequence or have little implications in the majority of patients. MRI of the brain will help clarify the nature of the lesions, to ensure they are just these benign calcium deposits. Other substances that appear bright on CT scan are calcium within tumors and blood; MRI will help exclude these.
Avatar n tn m not entirely sure myself where the problem stems from, it feels like an inner ear problem because of the tinnitus and hearing loss, but the vertigo feels more central.
Avatar m tn Brain MRI WITH contrast and focusing specifically on the inner-ear area. An MRI without contrast might show an acoustic neuroma, but I think that to rule out even a small acoustic neuroma, you need to have it done with contrast. (That is the "gold standard.
230948 tn?1235844329 I was told that the inner ear can cause the nystigma but then so can central so am not sure but the A&E dr told me i did not have fluid in my inner ear and my CT scan was clear so he feels its central but wants the MRI to confirm but also was not pleased that my last MRI was without contrast, but as its an ENT i doubt a MS critia will be run on it, he wants the inner ear included just in case they are missing something.
Avatar n tn This looks like a problem with the inner ear apparatus. The inner ear is concerned with balance and equilibrium as well as hearing. You can consult an ENT specialist and get the relevant tests done. Do you have nausea / vomiting also ?

Avatar m tn Needed to go to the hospital to see what was going on. They did MRI of brain, chest xray, cast scan, ekg, etc and they said i had vertigo. Almost 3 weeks later, I still have this funny like "disoriented feeling" almost like my head is not connected to my body and am out of it. I do feel dizzy a little, but it's more of an overall disoriented feeling.
Avatar m tn Also sounds like symptoms of Semi-circular Canal Dehiscence which is small pin holes in the inner ear canal that allows small seepage of CSF. I have a friend that had to have surgery for that & it was very successful in relieving symptoms. Anyway just a thought of a possible diagnosis to consider since it mimics Meniere's & is probably why they want the more detailed MRI. I think the nausea/vomiting is more pronounced with the canal dehiscence tho.
Avatar f tn In this vertigo is caused when small particles fall loose in labyrinth[present inside inner ear],these particles move inside ear and causes vertigo as middle ear is organ of balance in body. This causes dizziness and vertigo when moving the eyes. Various inner ear diseases like labrynthitis, infections, fluid build up, meniere’s disease or tumors like acoustic neuroma can lead to such symptoms.

Avatar m tn I went to the neurologist about a year and a half ago, they said i had an impaired ear and possibly a herpes eye infection? They just said it would be better in a couple of weeks. I had an MRI scan too, they never got back to me on it, I feel a bit off balance at sometimes. My symptoms are better than it was when it first occured. Does anyone know what this might be and what i can do?
4403156 tn?1354189853 Back in March, I was treated for a sinus infection, but had 'fullness' in my left ear. I had my ear syringed in case of earwax buildup, but it didn't help. Started feeling mildly nauseated and off-balance, light-headed, and foggy in April. Tinnitus at bedtime, when everything was quiet. I also felt my left ear 'draining' at times, like there was water in my ear, but there was no fluid in my ear. Exercise, even taking a walk, made me feel sick.
Avatar f tn I asked the nurse for the written results of the Spinal MRI. I received the results hoping that the results of the Brain MRI would also be enclosed, well it wasn't. I called and asked the nurse and she told me "oh yea, you have a pineal cyst that is 9mm x 10 mm" and the doctor wants you to have another MRI next year. Well some of the symptoms that I have been having have fallen into this pineal cyst thing. My Dr. says wait for 1 year, can anyone help me?
Avatar m tn Hello everyone, I have been feeling dizziness and lightheadedness for a year now and I have no idea what is the issue. I had a MRI and CT scan of my head and everything came out normal. Even had blood check and thyroid check and everything came out normal. Because of my insurance problem, I was not able to go to an ENT yet but the only possibility I can think of is an inner ear infection.
