Yeah gave an update on the last page. Had surgery to remove part of the lateral tubercle of my c1 and some calcified ligament/muscle in my neck...
Anyone could work. Make sure to reach out!
Figured I'd update this. Just had surgery about a week ago to remove the compression on my internal jugular vein. It's bilateral but they insisted...
Ask as many questions as you'd like! The cta was the initial scan I did thanks to tiniturtles guide. Funny enough my initial doctor who was at...
Ooooo that's perfect that's the gold standard for imaging outside of a traditional angiogram.
That CT with contrast can be useful, but I'm not 100%. Was it a CTA? What you want to do is get those scans on a disc and bring them to Mohamad,...
Absolutely. Mohamad Abdalkader out of BMC helped me. He's a really great doctor and a very compassionate guy. Can I ask what tests you've had...
Stenting is great depending on the condition. It's a super simple procedure and it's easy to monitor. What is your condition? I don't remember...
Thanks! The visual symptoms were the ones that triggered me to really start looking again. As I mentioned this is the abridged version but it's...
It's a little whooshing, like water rushing by my ear in sync with my heartbeat. Valsalva pushes it past for a second then it returns. They're...
You can absolutely pm me. Did you seek the opinion of a neurointerventional radiologist?
I've considered craniocervical instability because I have extreme crepitus and crunch in my neck. My cta revealed an incomplete fusion of the...
This will be the abridged version and I'll answer any questions people have. I've had tinnitus (ringing), pulsatile tinnitus (whooshing),...
Do you take ssri/snri?
Are you experiencing this?
Ok so why are you commenting on a thread regarding pulsatile tinnitus? The author of the thread is discussing pulsatile tinnitus which is a...
So as I said you had an MRI not an MRV/MRA or a CTA. An MRI is mostly useless for PT outside of major issues such as tumors. So first off you...
There is a difference between tinnitus and PT. If you have PT you almost certainly can find the cause. Do you have PT or ringing? If you got...
If you're really worried about MRI in terms of sound and length you can get a CTA, but the radiation on that is way more damaging than anything an...
Most pulsatile tinnitus is benign, but it is absolutely worth looking into since it's new.
Probably not. How long have you had it? It's definitely worth getting a scan done and seeing a specialist.
I think a huge chunk of people who have PT only have it situationally. I have it and it only appears when my neck is turned a certain way or if...
I'm convinced my neck is the source of my tinnitus. A CT scan revealed an incomplete fusion of c1, and my tinnitus is modulated based on my...
How does one go about signing up to participate?
I'm doing the angiogram in a week and already had a CT done. Is the angiogram significantly clearer?
Are you also in mass? I'm currently working with Dr. Abdalkader at Boston medical. Brilliant doctor.
They want to run some more tests I may have that as well. I've asked before but what were your other symptoms? Any vertigo? Any ringing?
You had a dilated emissary vein? I just got an update actually for a few more findings. High riding jugular bulb and prominent condylar vein.
Fortunately mine is benign. He can basically seal off the vein if the PT is bothering me, but otherwise no need. I'm just glad it's not...
I went through the same thing Dr. Abdalkader found the issue instantly it was so surreal. I wonder if you could email him and find a way. What...
Been a few weeks since this post so hopefully you find this. Dr. mohamad abdalkader out of BMC is absolutely brilliant. I had a cta done in...
