About me
I am a 47 year old male.
For the past few years I have had many symptoms with are vague in nature....
The first problem of a medical nature I had was back when I was 18 years old, I woke up one morning and could not move because of sever pain in my back at about the level of my shoulders. I was admitted to hospital but doctors could not find why I was in so much pain. I was discharged on Distalgesic and the pain did settle after a few weeks. In 1994 I noticed a a sensation like Ants crawling on my skin along with twitching in both my calf muscles and at the time I saw a Neurologist. He diagnosed Muscle fasciculation due to Peripheral Neuropathy.
In early 2008 I noticed a small lump in the back of my neck, I also had problems with vertigo & dizziness and gradually started having sever pain in my thoracic spine. After many tests I was sent for an MRI of my Brain & C-Spine
I eventually got a diagnoses on the 13th of November 2008 following an MRI scan.
That DX was
A Neurenteric Cyst of the subgroup Split Notochord Syndrome, this is shown as a 6mm cyst anterior to the left hemichord @ the T1 level. This appears Intradural & Extramedullary. There is an associated myeioschsis and a short segment Syrinx from the lower border of C7 to the upper border of T2. a segmentation abnormality affecting T1 T2 & T3 vertebral bodies.....
