I have it.\n\nIt's a condition in which the brain either overproduces cerebro-spinal fluid, or this fluid doesn't drain correctly.  Either way, the fluid build up puts pressure on the brain which can cause symptoms that mimic those found in patients with brain tumor.  Common symptoms include severe headache that may be positional, decreased visual field, and a "whooshing" sound, called pulsile tintinitis.  Diagnostic medical findings are swollen optic nerve heads, decreased field of vision, and increased CSF upon spinal tap.  \n\nTreatments range from diet, exercise, and management thru taps, to pharmaceutical treatment as well as the placement of VP and LP shunts.\n\nThere's nothing "pseudo" about it.  The pain is real.  The physical damage it can cause is real.  The debilitation is real.  This is NOT an "it's all in your head" disease.

Discuss symptoms, mechanism of disease and complications that result from the illness?\n2. What are some causes of encephalitis? Discuss vector-borne pathogens that cause encephalitis, different kinds of viral (including herpetic) encephalitis.\n3. Discuss transmission and communicability of encephalitis.\n4.

Are you talking about a MRI scan?  Abnormal is not very descriptive.  There should have been more of a description with your imaging report.  And a neurologist will be more help to you than anyone you will find on here.....

Have you tried the NHS website? It is pretty good for general diagnosis, and has links for specific problems. Good luck

Don't panic..First,let me ask you,how often you experience those leaking of your memory.It's of vital impotrance.It could be related also with your mental stance,the level of stress,etc.If you passed through some very "tough" and harsh occasions they might be the cause of your symptoms.Anyway,dear go ahead and try to find a good neurologist and don't postpone your visit.Be patient and sooner or later everything will come into the proper places!

Go to a doctor,and tell him what s going on with you. Perhaps, he/she will order a MRI or a CAT scan of your Brain. Medical history,of your family could play a part of it.  Look in the phone book,if you don't have a doctor& set up a appointment VERY SOON! \nP.s be sure to tell the doctor EVERY THING that has been going on with your health!\n Do Not Let It Go On, not checked!!!!!!!!\nI'll pray for u, intill then...God Bless
