Can I have some brief that whether our brain and skull associated with some circular/ring shaped bones mainly to limbic nd hypothalamus...

The brain is protected by the skull, but there are no specific circular or ring-shaped bones associated with the limbic system and hypothalamus. These regions are part of the brain's structure and function independently within the skull's protection. And the brain's structure consists of various regions and structures that work together to regulate functions such as emotions, memory, and homeostasis, with the protection provided by the skull.

Am I Experiencing Right Tentorial Subarachnoid Hemorrhage?

If you had this condition, it would signify that there has been a tiny amount of blood leaked into the brain lining on the right side. Symptoms might include severe head pain, vomiting, nausea, and stiffness in the neck. Causes can be high blood pressure or an injury to the head such as from a fall or car accident. An aneurysm burst occurs when a weak spot in a blood vessel wall swells like a balloon. Eventually, it bursts, releasing its contents into surrounding tissues, potentially affecting the brain. Often treatment involves being closely watched in the hospital where doctors will also do some tests before deciding what might need doing next. Remember always to follow your neurologist's advice carefully.

My mother is 65 years old. She had seizure for the 1st time. MRI report says Suggestive of neoplastic pathology and arachnoid cyst. Is surgery required? so is there possibility of Tumor? Or do we find that out after/during surgery?

Neoplastic pathology means any disease which causes a tumor, whereas arachnoid cyst means that it is just a fluid-filled sac and not a tumor, so the report merely suggests that there is a possibility of either 2 affecting your mother, but it doesn't conclude anything, so we can't be certain about whether it's a tumor or not.
For tumors, surgery will be the main line of treatment, followed by either chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, or both.
Arachnoid cyst wouldn't need a treatment, but if you do go ahead anyway, or if there's some complication that results from it, then surgery would be needed.

Hi, my MRI report says" Central and bilateral paracentral disc herniation at L5-S1 level causing thecal compression and right traversing nerve root impingement. The right paracentral component of the herniated L5-S1 disc is extruded". I feel pain in my buttocks and calf muscle on the right side. Is it possible to get cured by non-surgical treatment?

Hello, You are having nerve root impingement which is responsible for your pain. Analgesics will give some relief for some time. Non-surgical treatment will not be of much help in the long run. Final remedy for your case will be keyhole surgery by a spinal surgeon. For further guidance kindly consult a good Neurologist, our page can help with this regards - Best Neurologist in India.

Hi, my name is Sateesh. I am 19 years old studying for Graduation. I work out most of the time. I had pain in the back one morning near the left side of the neck. Numbness all over the body, weakness in hands and legs, coldness under the foot,etc. We went to the hospital to consult a Neurosurgeon. He took an MRI test and said this condition is cervical transverse myelitis. Doctors have given steroids and antibiotics for a week. Now my legs are fine but hands are not working properly, tightness of abdominal, shaking of hands, muscle weakness, my hand fingers are not working properly. Please guide me on what treatment should I take up?

Hello, Transverse myelitis is an inflammation on both sides of one section of the spinal cord (in your case it is cervical). This neurological disorder damages the insulating material of the nerve fibres which results in interruption of the nerve conduction system. Usually, recovery begins from two to twelve weeks of the first onset of symptoms and may continue up to two years. In case, if there is no improvement in symptoms within several months then the recovery is difficult. About one-third of these patients show partial or full recovery. However, take a second opinion from a neurologist. Don't lose hope. Regular treatment will be of help. Hope our answer helps you. You can refer our page to find neurologists who can give additional information and second opinions - Best Neurologist in India.
