View allGot a severe headache and my CT scan showed a 32mm calcified granuloma in the left frontal lobe. How serious is this and do I need surgery for it?
A calcified granuloma, especially if it's 32mm in size and in the frontal lobe, is generally not life-threatening, but it's crucial to understand the potential implications and get a proper medical evaluation. Calcified granulomas are usually benign and do not require treatment unless they are causing symptoms or are a sign of an underlying condition. Surgery is usually not necessary for a calcified granuloma itself

I've been feeling really dizzy for about two months now, and it makes keeping my balance while walking pretty tough. After the first week, things got a bit better, but I still went to see a neurospecialist who gave me some medication. The dizziness just doesn't seem to go away, and it can be different at different times, mostly when I move my head around in a rotational way. It's weird because it doesn't feel like the room is spinning, just my head feels off, and walking becomes difficult. Things seemed to calm down for a while, but it's been acting up again for the past 23 days. Now it gets worse when I move my head up or down. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and if there's a way to treat it?
Vertigo can be caused by various underlying conditions such as inner ear problems, vestibular migraines, or Meniere's disease. Since your symptoms have persisted despite medication, it is important to follow up with your neuro-specialist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking Betahistine. Betahistine is commonly used to reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo attacks. It is important to continue communicating with your neuro-specialist to determine the underlying cause of your vertigo and to adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
