752584 tn?1233693982 3 days after my brain angiogram (results were ok) last week I had a serious visual disturbance. It started off with a small shape in my middle vision then progressed within minutes to what I can describe as a Kaleidescope effect, or like looking through a prism. It lasted about half an hour. I was involved in an RTA on my motorbike 4 months ago and sustained serious head injuries. (I have been left with 3 tinnitus noises, 1 of which sounds like my carotid artery.

Avatar n tn If someone has a supra orbital tumor (lets say an intraosseous meningioma for arguement sake) ... of about 3 or 4 centimeters - Aside from headache of visual changes, what symptoms are likely from a tumor in this location? Assuming there is some mild to moderate shunting upward of the brain due to the supra orbital mass? What sort of changes in the person would you see? And if there were seizures, from this pre frontal cortex area, what type of seizure activity would be most likely?
Avatar n tn Virtually any movement, sensory, or emotional symptom can occur as part of a partial seizure, including complex visual or auditory hallucinations.

Avatar m tn i have been having a lfuttering visual field especially in bright or florescent light for several months. neither my ophthamoligisdt nor a retinal specialist could find the cause. the retinal specialist thinks that maybe a neuroophthamoligist would be able to address this problem if it persists. my ophthamoligist wants me to see him in six months but does not want to send me to a neuroophthamoligst for now. what do you think?
Avatar m tn i have been have visual snow symptoms from 2 months but i was ignoring it because it was too mild.The symptoms are floaters,blue field entoptic phenomena,flickering dots mostly visible on walls and very conspicuous at the night when the lights are off. it does not bother me much . But from a couple of days i have been seeing visual aura which is assosiated with migraines without any pain in only my left eye. The aura lasts only for 10 min everyday and then dissapears.
Avatar f tn can 20 years on dilantin after one seizure, then a stroke with no speech, cause terrible sideeffects?
Avatar f tn I am currently undiagnosed but have symptoms of MS. Has anyone else experienced visual disturbances such as increased eye floaters, decreased peripheral vision, or flashes of light? My floaters appeared last September, along with my other symptoms (vertigo, numbness, weakness in left leg, stiff hands), and I have recently had bright but brief flashes in my eyesight, mostly in my peripheral vision.
Avatar m tn Hello dear and welcome to the medhelp forum. Transient visual loss may be due to causes anywhere in the visual apparatus. These are constriction of retinal blood vessels, decreased blood flow due to hypotension, arrhythmias, anemia, thromboembolism, and epileptic seizure. Local conditions like glaucoma and optic neuritis, following heavy meals, in association with demyelinating conditions and raised intracranial pressure. Consult a neurophysician for a detailed evaluation.
Avatar f tn Your visual changes with loss of peripheral vision and headache strongly suggests ophthalmic (eye) migraine with visual aura. But there are other causes especially a remove history of seizure. You need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist for a full medical eye exam. If you have a family MD or pediatrician you also need to go in for a complete physicial exam with special attention to the neurological system.
Avatar m tn They have done an EEG (which came back normal) It is not a seizure as the symptoms are present 24/7 for almost 3 years now. I have also had a VEP, BAER test which were normal as well.
Avatar n tn It began as an afterimage that lasted for several days and is now also visible when my eye is open. Its not a floater as It stays in the same place in my visual field (just up to the right of the centre of my vision). Its also not dark but a swirly patch that kinda reminds me of light refracting off water. It doest flash or cause pain it just stays the same. Same place in vision, same size, same swirling within its area. Its just mor noticalbe than when It first turned up.
Avatar n tn I think I may be having seizures at night time, but I'm not sure. I've just started keeping track of them tonight. Until now I haven't recorded how often they've happened or when they started. These are the symptoms that happened to me tonight. I could feel that one of these episodes was about to happen. Normally, this is how it starts out. There were some patterns of light that kind of flashed as I had my eyes closed.
Avatar f tn Which is like a seizure in some ways but may not show up on an EEG but the visual recognition is enough to confirm absence seizure. Find out if she notices it very often or less so. Absence seizure are commonly unnoticed because they are short and not very violent. You say that the twitching/ pulsing started in the throat and moved up to her chin and lips, was there any trauma to her head before anything started. A lot can count as brain trauma so any falls or crashes before the twitching.
Avatar m tn Then, dark floaters appeared as well as dancing flashes of light, usually in my upper visual field. When I would stare at a homogenous surface, like a white wall, it seemed like I couldn't "put it together" in my mind and would perceive horizontal lines imposed on it. And when I close my eyes, I perceive what seem to be afterimages, however they are not afterimages of anything I would look at, but usually lines in a number of orientations.
Avatar m tn I have experienced a lot of visual symptoms with my Lyme disease, from sharp eye pain (worse upon movement) to mild double vision, floaters, blurriness (worse upon heat or exhaustion), and bright flashing light in my peripheral vision when I move my eyes side to side. At times I would see "trails," so if I was holding an object that gives off light (candle, cell phone) and moved it in front of me, I'd see a faint image behind the true object.
Avatar n tn I have the same exact symptoms. It happens to me about once or twice a year. I have had a Seizure disorder and Migraines my entire life. I have only had 3 seizures in my life all were severe. When I first had this my doctor told me that it was a migraine and I was treated with migraine medication. After 20 years of no seizures and 15 no seizure medication I had a seizure and since have been taking Depakote and Keppra for my seizures.
Avatar m tn I'm going to a neurologist on Tuesday to determine what's wrong with me, but I exhibit many symptoms of epilepsy, yet nothing shows up on an EEG. I already have migraines, but I also have an extremely rare neurological condition called Persistent Aura without Infarction, a member of the Visual Snow entity, which was decided as 'not a migraine complication, but a new disease entity' last year.
Avatar m tn I also have daily unexplained visual disturbances ( purple spots flashes etc) which I have seen ophthalmologists for, and they say my eyes are healthy. My question is ( I read this could be a seizure symptom) does one need to convulse in order to have a seizure? Does this sound like seizures? I've had the brain tingling my entire life, but it got more intense recently, and after taking effexor XR for two years. Thanks!
Avatar n tn What makes a seizure a seizure? I have un controlable trembles / shakes in my temples around my lower eye. When they get bad they radiate down my neck into my left arm and hand. I also have visual disturbances, like pixels, or fluttery things in my view that diappear on there own ( ussually very brief ) These bother me alot and my nuero doc says forget about but he get paid by the GOVT.
3143728 tn?1343008561 By this point, I am still very conscious and have normal thought patterns. I usually begin to hallucinate, both visual and audio. Usually very Hellish, horrifying things, and distortion of objects. It soons fades after seconds to minutes. This can continue on multiple times after ceasing. Sometimes on and off for hours, while trying to sleep.
Avatar f tn My name is Sonja, I'm a 43 yr old woman with a small cavernous hemangioma in my brain that sometimes causes seizures. The exact location of the tumor is located in the speech center of my brain on the left side. When I'm about to have a seizure I've noticed that I lose my ability to talk correctly. In the last month I've had 2 seizures but I've noticed that I'm having difficulty talking a great deal.
Avatar n tn Others may present with some aura like visual spots or may present as a particular smell prior to the seizure attack. An MRI may not be able to tell if you are having a seizure disorder or not although any significant findings may be able to help explain your condition. In your case however, the scans came back negative. An EEG is the diagnostic of choice if a seizure disorder is suspected.
