Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Fibrous Dysplasia ,clivus And Sphenoid Cause Tinnitus And Headache
Fibrous dysplasia of the skull, including the clivus and sphenoid bones, can this cause tinnitus and headache. Should it be monitored with regular CT scans or an MRI? No one seems too concerned that my husband has FD in all his skull bones and that now he is having increased headache, neck pain, and relentless tinnitus. He has chronic insomnia due to the tinnitus and now his employer is adding a third shift to his schedule. (days, evenings and now graveyard shift). I am thinking he will end up in the graveyard at this rate. Any advice would be appreciated.
Fibrous dysplasia of clivus and sphenoid may cause head ache and tinnitus. Apart from ct and mei histopathological examination will give definitive diagnosis.
Transseptal or trans sphenoidal biopsy is one of diagnosis. Depending on symptoms it can be treated serial observation to curettage and complete excision.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Krishnakanth. K
