The CT Scan of the brain shows appearance to be a degree of atrophy with widened CSF spaces around the brain,?

It means that the brain has shrunk (atrophy) for some reason and that the natural spaces (Cerebral Spinal Fluid spaces) are bigger than they should be.  You really need to talk to the doctor as to what this means for your child....;

I would suggest getting a second opinion and have the area imaged using CT or MRI to see what is going on.  While the second doctor may say that it's nothing also, I certainly wouldn't depend on just one opinion.\n\nbest of luck and feel  better.

While you state tha you have seen a doctor, Yahoo Answers is no place for this type of question. Even if qualified Neurologists replied, they could not accurately provide a diagnosis withou examining your daughter.\n\nCauses of severe headaches:\nMigraine\nTrauma\nBrain bleed\nInfection\nHypertension\nTumor\nParasites\nand the list goes on.\nIf the MRI and CTScan are negative and she is still symptomatic, I would press to see a specialist. Have a Radiologist look at the films. See another neurologist for a second opinion. Don't stand still, but proceed forward and ask about the next step. Can they do a contrast study MRI?\nWhat has your daughter's health been like before? Has she visited any foreign places? Been ill recently? College is a common place for menigitis and viral outbreaks. You should rule these out.\n\nheadaches can also be caused be extreme stress, whihc is not uncommon in college.\n\nGood luck, but direct your questions to an MD!

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

The globe is definately the eye ball.  What the density can be, I don't know.  When is your appointment with the neurologist?  When the radiologist I work for reads out a MRI, and he finds something abnormal, he will usually give examples of what it could be.  It is called a differential diagnosis.  Do you have a report from the radiologist?

I'd check with neurologist.  Back bone - do you mean spine?  Might have a pinched nerve.

No, this is a myth. A large part of our brain is used as proved by MRI's.

There appears to be more than one type of amyotrophy. See the links.

It doesn't sound like the type of thing I would ignore, but I wouldn't jump to extreme conclusions like a brain tumor or something.\n\nActually, it sounds more like poor circulation, and that CAN be VERY serious in the brain - i.e. strokes.  It is definitely something to head to the doctor about.  This can cause very serious problems.  If nothing else, you may have tendinitis in your feet and some inserts or physical therapy could help.  That part sounds especially odd.

The findings on the MRI could be incidental. If we scanned everyone we would see mild disc degredation and mild curvature problems. That having been said, there is the small chance the disc degredation is related. The curvature problems may be coming from mal-alignment due to muscle spasms. The throat discomfort is likely unrelated. As far as who to see, I would start with your primary care physician or a primary care sports medicine doctor. In this case, preferrably a DO versus and MD based on the possibility you may need a little manipulation (similar to what a chiropractor does).\nGood luck

I don't understand your question. Until emptiness? Are you talking about hydrocephalus or some other disease state?\n\nEDIT: Hmm. Now I better understand your question, but I have to admit I don't know the answer, it's not my area. It does sound rather severe. A Neurosurgeon is the best person to ask, if you have not already had an appointment with one. Is this congenital (child was born with this)?

You don't feel very confident in the diagnosis by doctors who have seen you and the MRI, but you are going to be ok with answers here?????\n\nPlease get another Dr's opinion, but don't trust your brain to Yahoo.

Brain damage isn't exactly easy to catch because there are areas of the brain we still don't know much about. We don't know what they "look like" normally and so we have a hard time seeing what's abnormal.\n\nDid they run an MRI? If so, it's possible they were either negligent or the damage hadn't shown up. \n\nA relative had epilepsy for about 11 months. It developed when he was 20 and fled him shortly thereafter. No one knows why - the brain scans (they hooked up electrodes to his skull and had his patterns tracked for 72 hours) came back normal. There are just some things we don't know yet.\n\nYou may want to have him examined by both a physician and a psychiatrist - the delayed reactions may be physical or psychological in nature (based on attention and preponderance), while the mood swings and headaches can be fully psychological in nature, or based on structural damage.

this is sometimes seen on cardiac echo, and has no significance...it can make a heart look enlarged when someone does a chest xray...but its not the heart that is enlarged...it just has more fat around it than usual

Anything near or having to do with the brain is serious and being that i'm not a doctor, I don't want to scare you or tell you about something, I know nothing about. I suggest you ask your doctor, or have your doctor refer you to someone, that specializes, in that type of profession.

it could be that the person as had a stroke (cva), or a head injury, could be a number of things really. could even be a SAH (sub arachnoid haemorhage). all depends on the state of the person and circumstances. some ppl have normally large pupils and are they both equal?.

I would hope if you had ct scan it would have picked up on brain tumor,it is possible that this all related to your hypertension.people that have brain tumors have severe ha,due to brain swelling,seizures visual problems,coordination problems,speech problems,sleep alot
