Hi there,
Well the angiogram was normal.....as I expected. He wasn't going to commit to the neuro referral "yet" he said. He believes its RP. On another note I failed the two visual fields tests done that day. I'm very frustrated, because I can see fine. In the VF tests I can't distinguish between the flashing lights and the flashes I have all the time. I've told them that MANY times, but they insist that is the proper test.
When I originally had my MRV is showed narrowing of vessels on one side. So they scheduled me for an angiogram thinking I may have a blood clot. Well thank God it turns out that I did not and the angiogram was negative of any stenosis or any other findings. Which I assume is a good thing, right. Why would the MRV show one thing and the angiogram show another? Could the increased pressure be what made the vessels appear to be smaller on one side?
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.
I was in rear-ended in an MVA in April 09 since then I have had a headache almost everyday along with Migraines 2 to 3 x a week, I had MRI with Contrast and Neuro DR.
I'm still in limbo land (since April 07), but have new findings on my annual MRI. I hope someone can help me interpret - I've been unable to decipher the medical journals I find online. I'm a 49 y.o. female with MS symptoms, although my neuro prefers to call it 'chronic inflammation of the brain'. (Sigh). Anyway, here's what's new on the MRI ...
The lateral ventricle, third ventricle and the fourth ventricles are slightly enlarged.
2011 she got admitted in hospital for neuro stroke,now dr suggested to take mri angiogram of brain.these are findings of mri angiogram of brain 1)Lacunar infarcts in bilateral subcortical frontal,parietal & occipital white matter.2)Acute infarct in left ACA territory.3)Diffuse cerebral & cerebellar atrophy.4)Occluded right ICA with reformation of MCA by PCOM.5)Atheromatous disease in left M1 with reduced calibre of M2/M3 and focal narrowing at M2.
MRI revealed bleed from cavernous angioma in brain stem, left penducle, cerebellum. Angiogram showed bleeding stopped but had surgery to have it removed. There were signs it had bled before. I had never been very coordinated and had also suffered a number of serious knocks on the head including a concussion as a kid. All seemed well post surgery until I went back to work six months later.
Hello!
I'm 40/m/190lbs/6'0" non-smoker, non-drinker, don't exercise, and haven't eaten very healthy over my life.
Suddenly in Jan of 2019 I started to feel faint, my heart starts beating hard and fast, cold sweat, nausea, cold shivers, slight tightness in chest, hard to breathe (like someone was sitting on my chest.) and extreme exhaustion.
Rushed to the ER, taken in as a heart attack, verified it was not a heart attack. After a couple hours felt better and was sent home.
Hubby wasn't bedridden, Physical Therapy had him up and walking around. He'd already had 2 TIA's in one day and was fine after both, even passed his Neuro checks. It wasn't until after his Angiogram and they had hooked his Heparin Drip back up that he had his 3rd TIA. And according to the Dr. that is what caused 3rd TIA plus his BP going up and down like crazy. We are getting very discouraged because of what happened.
Is it really necessary for me to have an angiogram after finding out I have small aneurism in my head? The aneurism is 3 mm, I am a healthy 37 year old female. Should I get a second opinion? It really seems unnecessary for me to have a cath and camera into my brain for an aneurism they say is small and not to worry about it???
I have been to both an optometrist and a retinal specialst. I had a florusciene angiogram and a tomography scan performed. No blockage or obstruction was observed to reduce or stop blood flow to the effected area. However the effected area did show up on the angiogram as a slightly discolored area. No visceral fluid or retinal tearing was found. I have had a doppler ultrasound to my carotids and everything showed clear and normal.
Probably you had a concussion and having Post Concussion effects. You can consult a Neuro-Otologist and Neurologist and see if you have any inner ear issues. Reason for dizziness can be very many. Get an MRI done to be safe.
I went to the Casey Eye Institute right away (because I do have actual eye problems, including non-age-related macular problems.) However, they did every conceivable kind of exam, including a dye-enhanced angiogram, and then said that the pre-existing problems I already had were basically stable and just did not explain what I was now seeing at all.
I have just been scheduled for an angiogram and I'm scared to no end I have a 3 year old son I love to death same as my soon to be wife. I'm so scared something will go wrong during the surgery how coming are complications? Also my ej is 73 is this bad?
You better check with your doctors, I am not sure about the potential damage due to the radiation dose that you will take during the procedure.
Also if they discover blockages in your coronaries, I do not know about the risk of the medication that you will need.
After a cardigraph treadmill test I'm being referred for angiogram - I'm going on holiday in two weeks with a 3 hour flight. Should I travel?
My partner is having an angiogram after suffering chest pains a few weeks ago. NAD was found at the time from blood tests and ECG (done over 18 hours). Was kept in overnight. Had no discomfort since, but suffers from type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol which are all controlled and low due to medication.
His chest pains were 4 weeks ago and he's had nothing since.
my mother is suffering from chest pain now Doctor is saying to go for angiogram test?
