Avatar n tn Goal is to relive swelling in brain and around nerve. MRI are done to see if there is pressure on the optic nerve especially from skull fracture, if so neurosurgery is done to try and remove pressure from skull bones. Remember all his life the OTHER eye is the most important eye and everything must be done to protect it from injury or disease.
Avatar n tn What kind of scan are you refering to? An MRI? My son was diagnosed with swelling of the optic nerve last year when he was 2. We had an MRI that was normal and an LP that was also normal. We don't know where to turn next. He hasn't had any vision problems that we have noticed or that have been noted by his opthamologist.
Avatar n tn That happened to me when i was 10 yrs old. The doctor thought i had a tumor, so i had a MRI, CT scan, and a spinal tap done. Luckily it wasnt a tumor. I got diagnosed with Pseudotumor cerebri, also known as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. Ive had it for 10 years now. But did everything turn out fine for you??
Avatar n tn ve seen others with painless, sudden vision loss due to ischemia to the optic nerve or other disorder of the optic nerve. It seems that a retinal abnormality would be easily seen on OCT scan and IVFA angiogram. If those were normal, then I would focus mostly on the optic nerve -but usually neuro-ophthalmologists can find almost any optic nerve disorder. Make sure she has a Brain MRI to look for any central problem in the visual pathway or visual cortex. Sorry, no other thoughts.
Avatar f tn Optic nerve drusen can look like papilledema-swelling of the optic nerve. This can be due to a brain tumor or swelling in the brain. If your first doctor was correct, the other doctor misdiagnosed the problem. Unless he was having other problems, the first doctor was probably right. It sounds like you had a bunch of expensive test that did not show anything. Did you let them know that another doctor already make the diagnosis of optic nerve drusen? Dr. O.
Avatar n tn It sounds like they suspect some degree of optic nerve hypoplasia but it is way to early to make any assumptions or comments from my perspective. I'm sorry I can't be more help.
Avatar n tn Hi Doctor, We did a Brain and Orbit MRI scan and carotid doppler test as suggusted by the doctor. Is ther anyway I can attach the report at this space? The finding in MRI Scan is , Findings: T2 FLAIR hyperlntense fbci ndted in the ffontal, bifrontal, periventricular and subcortical white matt6l - Ischemic changes. Impression: Bifrontal ischemic changes .t Dlffuse cerebral atrophy .
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with bilateral optic neuritis about a month ago and have gone through a lot of testing. The most common cause of optic neuritis is Multiple Sclerosis, but there are also many other things. Like herpes, lupus, certain drugs, viral or bacterial infections. I would try and get an appointment with a neurologist and he would probably order an MRI or different tests.
Avatar n tn Focal left abormal optic nerve enhancement consistent with left optic neuritis. Large white matter lesion in the right centrum semiovale, white matter lesion in the left brachium pontis, minimal periventricular white matter change is consistent with demyelinating process multiple scierosis. Small focal enhancing lesion in the left external capsule without abnormality on precontrast inaging may represent a focal active plaque versus as icidental capillary telangiectasia.
Avatar f tn Hagan, Like various other people here, I also suffered complete vision loss in my left eye due to optic nerve damage in an accident 8 years back.
Avatar n tn Aberrant regeneration of the third nerve is not uncommon, resulting in persistent motility problems. Worsening of optic nerve function may be underappreciated, especially if quantitative assessment is not performed. Trigeminal dysfunction may have a significant effect on visual function, especially if complete, as an anesthetic cornea is at high risk for development of neurotrophic keratitis.
Avatar f tn The campimetry showed that the lession affected half of visual area of the right eye but the ct scan didnt show anything wrong.Now I'm 23 and my doctor asked all those tests again the campimetry and ct scan showed the same results but the doctor said that my photomotor reflex was a bit affect this time and it was not affected before.I went to 2 doctors, one told i have nothing to worry about another one just told me to go back there every 6 months but he didn't aynthing else.
Avatar f tn I recently went to the eye doctor because I felt some strain when using the computer. I was given reading glasses, but the optometrist also said she was concerned that my optic disc seemed blurry in her photographs. I was then sent to an ophthalmologist at the hopsital, who took photos, did a visual fields test, and an ultrasound on my eyes. He noted that my I have "bilateral prominent optic nerve heads" and that there is "no convincing evidence of optic disc drusen.
Avatar m tn Some times I notice too that my right eye slightly bulges and feels a bit heavier than the left eye. My MRI was of the brain and sinuses. It said in the results that the optic nerve appeared bilaterally and that there was no abnormality of the extra-ocular muscles. Would a cat scan tell me anything that a MRI can’t? Also if the pain continues, should I get another scan in the near future? I would appreciate your advice, Thank you.
589816 tn?1332976771 The mass appears well circumscribed and there is superior displacement of the optic chiasm but no definite involvement of the optic chiasm or optic nerves. Impression: 2.0 x 1.2 x 2.0 cm nonenhancing mass in the suprasellar cistern which appears to be separate from the pituitary gland, optic chiasm and hypothalamus as well as the internal carotid artery. The differential includes craniopharyngioma and epidermoid cyst. Less likely is a cystic glioma or cystic astrocytoma.
274858 tn?1267749912 s office called and scheduled an appointment to have an ultrasound done of the back of my eye and to get a picture of the optic nerve. Has anyone had this done? I have asked the doctor's office what they are thinking it is and they wouldn't say. Any help here would be great.
1144368 tn?1261294811 Whatever condition your son has, inflammation/swelling is one of the cores of an optic nerve problem, so treatment is very similar, which one of them is basically to give IV steroid medications, like prednisone, so as to speed up recovery, since that kind of drug reduces inflammation in a hurry.
Avatar m tn I'm 23 and right now, my current symptoms are a left eyelid switch, floaters, and headaches on the right side of my head (I feel it in my ear as well). The headaches started happening a little over a year ago, and in that time I've gotten a CT scan AND MRI of the brain. Both came back normal. I've had minor floaters for awhile, not sure if its actually worse now or if I just think it is because I'm worrying.
Avatar f tn The dr sent me to get every test that you can think of. MRI, Spinal tab, blood work, cat scan evrything came back ... [More] normal. I'm got my vison back im now experiencing a tingling sensation around my left eye. I'm thinking could it have a viral thing. bcaause everyhting else cam back normal. any suggestions?
2000495 tn?1327504807 doctors at aiims(new delhi) examined him for 1 month in hospital to get the cause. they prescribed to do CT scan , MRI , MR of his brain but reports of scan resulted nothing unordinary. these things happened three times from 2001 to 2005. they said there is nothing wrong in neurology. in his case , attack of this palsy starts with two or more vomiting ,then gradual deflection of right eye towards his right and then shutting down of his pupil.
Avatar f tn This can be ruled out by a CT scan or MRI. To diagnose a TIA or mini stroke you need to have a MRI close to the episode. If TIA is suspected then all predisposing factors to TIA should be ruled out like polycythemia vera, sickle cell disease, diabetes, hyperviscosity syndromes, hypertension etc. Yes, MS too is a possibility but one cannot say for sure unless tests are done. Please consult a neurologist. Take care!
Avatar m tn Last week I went to my 23rd appointment over a year's time that concerns optic nerve swelling - much more pronounced on my right eye with minimal swelling of the left. I have had a brain MRI with dye (they were looking for MS signs or a tumor); CAT scan of my orbits, every vision test including visual field in the opthalmologist's office, - all are negative for any abnormalities.
Avatar f tn Feb 2010 I slipped on wet floor & bumped onto the wall making my wrist & ankle painful. My eye muscle got stress like pulling to nose & felt very painful which I had not experienced before.Found seriously diplopia less than 24 hours & my right eyeball went inside to the nose side & couldn't turn out.
