What Causes Severe Headache Followed By A Seizure?
Thank you. I received a call from my son as he is in prison at this time. About three weeks ago he was working in the prison kitchen. For 2 days he started to get some minor headache pain. By the third day he had such a seizure while suffering severe headache pain he asked to leave the area and lay down. That was the last thing he remembered. When he woke up he was in a hospital bed and had no idea what happened or how he got there. When he asked they said he suffered a pretty bad seizure. This has never happened to him before. They did send him for an MRI back then and today he received a notice telling him he has a white mass on his brain, I am very fearful he may need medical attention immediately to find out what this mass could be. Can you please tell what the cost is to get some help at this time as to what may be causing this
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Severe headache with seizure and white mass on MRI is suggestive of 1. Simple brain cyst 2. Malignant brain tumor 3. Tuberculoma 4. Fungal brain infection 5. Encysted blood collection. So consult neurosurgeon and get done biopsy from the mass for diagnosis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
