Guest guest Posted April 28, 1999 Report Share Posted April 28, 1999 Hey Guys, Well, I've got GREAT news!! According to the report it says negative brain scan!! Woo Hoo!! But I'd still like to see the films to see for myself, ya know??? =) Her report didn't say anything about Chiari on it even, and they knew that's what we were looking for, so....... I " assume " they did look!! It wasn't the same one who ready my report, but hopefully he knows how to look for ACM!!! Here's what her report said: Motion artifact degrades detail on some of the sequences. The ventricles, cortical sulci and basal cisterns appear normal. No focal areas of abnormal signal or enhancement are identified. No mass effect or midline shift is demonstrated. The major intracranial vessels show normal appearing flow voids. I'm relieved that they DIDN'T find ACM, but that means that it must be the TMJ causing her headaches, which haven't been too bad lately!! (knock on wood!!) I'm just wondering what or even if I should do anything more about the TMJ or just wait.......those of you that have/had it or know much about it, what's your opinion?? I'd really appreciate some feedback!!!! Thanks in advance!! Take Care and hope everyone has a grrrrrrrrrreat day!! If I could get rid of this dang h/a I might just have one too!! <g> Luv ya, Amy Jo ********************************************************************** ACM 1, 5 mm herniation, Suboccipital Craniectomy w/Duraplasty (my own), Laminectomy C-1, surgery 10-12-98, worst symptoms prior to surgery were severe headaches, dizziness/falling......post-op same symptoms came back, but not nearly as severe!!!! And yes......I think the surgery was a success, if I had it to do all over again.....I would!! =oÞ E-mail address AJisbak123@... ********************************************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
