Dear Dr. Joshua,
I had a full brain MRI and was told I have hydromyelia of the middle of my spinal canal. it is a smaller syrinx and and I have had this for 4 years but it has gotten a little larger now. I am experiencing tingling, numbness fingers, toes. I have burned my arm and not felt it etc. I do understand that the syrinx is in an area that you do not really want to repair it for fear of causing more damage than you would do than leaving it alone. I had decompression surgery already. I was also told that I have a choroid plexus cyst within the right temporal horn. I have extreme migraines, vomiting, imbalance, etc. Can this be caused by the cyst? Do you monitor the cyst? Can the cyst become a tumor? Thank you for your time! Just a little nervous with all this news at once. I am 48 years old. I have Arnold Chiari Malformation, Pseudo Tumor Cerebri, Trigeminal Neuralgia thrown in to boot.
Thank you again! Merry Xmas!
