Could this be due to thornwaldt cyst? : -partial seizures(temporal lobe) -spontaneous vertigo, sometimes rotational -tinnitus -sub occipital pain on most days, debilitating 2-3 times per week -extreme motion sickness, even just by turning my head too quickly Have had EEG indicating abnormalities in temporal lobe. MRI normal except for Thornwaldt Cyst. Have had multiple(6 or 7) falls with head injury, including loss of consciousness and brain injury. Possible basal skull fracture(Battles Sign) in 2010 due to fall. Falls have generally been preceded by sudden onset of drop in BP and full rotational vertigo. I am frightened of another fall/brain injury. I do not believe I can survive another head strike. I am currently taking Lamictal and Lyrica. Benefits of Rx has been marginal, at best. Many thanks!
I read your question and I understand your concern. However, regarding what you are asking specifically about, Thorwald cyst, no, that shouldn't be the cause of the loss of consciousness. They are outside the brain, in the posterior part of your nasal-oral cavity and almost never cause symptoms. They could become symptomatic if they become infected with nasal discharge and bad breath. Another possibility is favoring middle ear infections, but that apart from being detectable on MRI would have presented other signs well before thinking of some brain involvement. I hope to have been of help.
