Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hello all I had my mri of my neck a few weeks. When an mri is done they screw your head to the board that slides into the mri machine securely so it can't move with a device that fits over your face. While in the mri machine a large lump formed in my neck behind my right ear and I had to be pulled out and to stick my fingers inside the device and push on it to release the pressure of it. It was slightly larger then a silver dollar piece. After the mri it took about a month and a half to go away; I was unable to sleep on that side, and the pain would wake me in the night. The mri lists a " mastoid effusion " which I find confusing; as that would take months to create, I would have been unable to hear, had a fever etc. Has anyone had something like this before. Is it possible that it is listed as a " mastoid effusion " and could actually be some sort of spinal cord leak? Would this look similar on an mri?
