Acoustic Neuroma Or A Cyst In MRI Scan

Hi, I am female and 25 years old. I have two pictures from my MRI scan that I wish to have looked at either by an neuro or an ENT , please can you help. My current neurologist did not look through the whole of my scan, I think he had written me off before he saw the results. I think it might be acoustic neuroma or a cyst. I suffer from daily headaches, nausea, vertigo/dizziness and ocassional tinnitus aswell as balance problems. Thanks, Kate

Hi Kate. Thanks for your query and using Health Care Magic

You symptoms of daily headaches, nausea, vertigo and tinnitus with ataxia points towards Vestibular Problems. This is related to the VIII cranial nerve and an effect it anywhere throughout its course from brain-stem to the ear.

MRI brain will usually be helpful in identifying Accoustic Neuroma which can cause all the above symptoms.
