I Have Psuedo Tumor Cerebri. I Recently Have Had Episodes
Question: I have psuedo tumor cerebri. I recently have had episodes of what i think is vertigo, except the room isnt spinning, i just feel like im falling over. Ive attached a report of my recent mri. Im wondering if i have lesions in spots where central verigo would emerge from? Does the report show any in my medula? Also, is there any possible way to know what my leisons are made of? Like plaque or something? Thank you

Brief Answer:
No lesions in brainstem or medula oblongata.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
I have read your query and the MRI report that you uploaded.
The lesions found by MRI are located inside the lobes of the brain, not in the brainstem near equilibrium centers.
According to the report there are no lesions into the medula oblongata.
The lesions seems to originate from demyelinating process, in other words, a condition where the white matter of the brain and spinal cord may be damaged.
Vertigo may indicate worsening of pseudotumor cerebri.
Hope I helped you.
Feel free to ask if you have further questions.

Is this absolutely confirmational of MS, or is additonal testing required? Are these lesions possible of migraines? Lastly, do you think these lesions could cause seizures? Thank you again. It is very much appreciated

Brief Answer:
These MRI findings are not sufficient for a MS diagnosis.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
The diagnosis of MS is mainly clinical, and tests are necessary for a complete evaluation.
Only MRI results are not sufficient for the diagnosis.
Other tests besides clinical evaluation include evoked potentials and spinal tap with cerebrospinal fluid examination for oligoclonal bands.
Migraines may result in such findings in MRI.
It is also possible for these lesions ( in rare cases ) to cause seizures.
Hope this helps.
