A future member of my family has vascular problems in his brain from which the nature is unknown by the treating medicines.
Although our confidence in them is great, a fast application of an appropriate treatment is necessary because his condition
is deteriorating rapidly.
He's 55-years old, has e deskjob in a railwaystation. It began with periods of absence, short syncopes, he fell down a few times.
He started to be clumsy. His left foot dropped when he walked, he had trouble climbing stairs. At the same time he became friendlier,
asking more questions, started talking more then he ever did, but nagging too. He became slightly incontinent. His memoryfunction
deteriorated.
He passed a few examinations, no metabolic problems were found, his heartrate did however drop a few times down to 25/minute.
Finally they took a CT-scan and found several 'spots' on his brain, one was localised temporal, almost occipital, another is localised
by the brainstem, and the others I don't know. They performed neurosurgery and removed the one on the right temporal lobe.
Everything went well, he has only a mild hemiplegia.
They found in his brain what they call a 'vascular injury of unknown nature'. It has a purple color, it is 'starshaped', multi-localised.
Extensive laboratory study did not answer any questions.
I realize this is very little information, but still I'd like to present this problem, hoping that anyone can help our medicines towards
a probable diagnosis. We will look for any additional information that can help you to help us.
Thank you
Guy Lorent
