Another GREAT and just SPECTACULARLY explained Case!! thank u, Dr Grunch ❤ sincerely for these Case explanations. Such clarity,order and logic in ur way of explaining..very understandable!! U stimulate our intellectual curiosity and then take us thru the case like a breeze!!
I find this super interesting. I have experienced syncope with seizures for years after going through 10 brain operations. In the hospital, i had an icp bolt monitor one time (intracranial hypertension, spinal fluid leak, neurosurgery refused to believe me yet again, thats a story for another time) and i turned my head to the left. I noticed the pressure reading on the ICP machine began to skyrocket. I still experience dizzyness and symptoms when my head is turned. Its so hard to get doctors to listen to me and actually be interested in my health. We had to fight to be diagnosed with both IH and venous sinus stenosis that was treated with a stent. According to my last MRI, the other side of my venous sinus is now also narrowed and potentially a candidate for a stent. Im not a doctor obviously. It makes me wonder if all of this could be connected and i need to push for an mri of my neck.
Im making an appt to see you from TN. I have this but EVERY neurosurgeon or neuro or orthopedic neck dr I see tells me my thread thin right vertebral artery is "not uncommon" and "we can live without a v artery." They will NOT do dynamic imaging. I have severe 24/7 r sided headache with vertigo, severe neck pain, lightheadedness moving my head, etc FOR 7 YEARS yet NO vestibular testing concluded anything AND the eply manuver or meclizine doesnt stop the symtoms!
Your doctors are fucking morons a vertebral artery dissection can kill. Is there a chance you could actually go out of state and talk to more professional neurologists or spinal doctors?
Assisted with diagnosing and treating using the maneuver. The eyes don’t usually lie. This could be the cause when the eyes are testing negative. Super cool
@@0grob0 I went to a neurologist and he basically brushed it off as well didn't even do exams I was very disappointed and discouraged I am starting to lose faith in the medical field
@@yeseniasanchez9206 My cervical spine surgeon never even heard of bow hunters syndome. When i told him all of my symptoms he shrugged his shoulders. I told him about the constant migraines, neck pain, going unconcious stretching my neck, i then said should i wear a brace and that i stopped stretching my neck until i can get testing done, and he said to keep doing it wont hurt me. No idea how a surgeon can go from saying he knows nothing about it, to telling me not to worry about it lol
@@yeseniasanchez9206 My neurologist basically did the same, but my symptoms persisted so she gave a referral to a neurosurgeon. Saw him today and he did NOT brush it off and I'm testing to confirm it now!
I’m curious what the patient’s range of motion was after having those levels fused. I had c4/5 fused, but also had degeneration in c3/4. They opted to not do more than one level until needed. I’m very happy with my results, but know that I will eventually have to have more done. Just curious what to expect.
same here, c4/c5 fused, but i have 3 more bulging discs and degenerative disc disease you only see in 80 year olds and i was 35 lol. They also refused to do all levels until later
Ive been waiting to see a neurologist where i live now for 17 months and this is one of my problems. I can make myself go fully unconcious and start shaking like a seizure stretching my neck left ear to left shoulder or turning my head to the left and looking over my shoulder. At first my right cheek tingles and goes numb, then my right arm does the same thing, next thing i know i am bent over like i am tying my shoes holding my neck still and shaking violently. This never happened before my shoulder surgery and my cervical spine fusion and both surgeons are just blaming eachother
