Sweare headache

[ritu510]

I asked this question few months back:
3 years back, my mother had an accident.. Although, she was fine after the accident, she started to have a sweare headache on one spot of her head.- top middle part of the head. She feels that area as hot and sweaty. She had all her tests done after that and everyt hing comes as normal. As she is living in India, where it gets too humid some times, when she gets out of the house, sometimes, she evfen has to put a wet towel on her head to avoid sweating and heat. She is taking pain killers efveryday and has been to so many doctors over there but nothing could really help her. Please advice.
the response received was:
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Was a MRI of upper cervical spine done? It could be nerve compression there. It can also be due to seborrhagic dermatitis. Endocrine gland related conditions like hyperthyroidism, acromegaly and glucose control disorders (diabetes and hypoglycemia both) all result in increased sweating. Pheochromocytoma, cancers, carcinoid syndromes, tuberculosis and other infections too can cause increased sweating. It can also be due to low blood pressure. Ask her to get thyroid and adrenal gland function tested.
Hope these tips help. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!


Now the tests been done and the report says
Thyroid function test
Tri-IODo Thyronine ( T3) 1.68 ng/ml
SErum Thyroxine ( T4) 10.77 ug/dl
Thyroid Stimulating hormone .75UIU/ml

i have the detailed report. Which reads as
MRI scan of cervical spine/screening whole spine: Study was done with 1.5T imager TiW, TSE , T2kW, TSE and Medic sequences were done in sagittal and axial planes. CErvical lordosis is reduced. Alighment, heigh, contour and marrow signal of the vertebra are normal.
Small endlplate osteophtes and chronic, small posterocentral disc bulge is seen from C2-3 to C6-7. Disco-osteophytic lesions are dcdasuing indentation over the thecal sac, root canal narrowing and adjacent neural compression.
Howevere, there is no cord compression. Cord is normal in contour and signal pattern.
Central canal diameter at various levels are as follows: C3=11mm, C4= 10mm, C5= 10mm. C6=10mm
Pre and paravertebral soft tissues are normal
Screening rest of the spine is unremarkable except mild spondylotic change.
Impression:
Mild cervical spondylosis with small disco-osteophytic lesion from C2-3 to C6-7 casuing indentation over the thecal sac, root canal narrowing and adjacent neural compression.
No cored compression or central canana stenosis.

hope its of some help. Please, pleasek, please advice.

Hi
Welcome back!
“Mild cervical spondylosis with small disco-osteophytic lesion from C2-3 to C6-7 casuing indentation over the thecal sac, root canal narrowing and adjacent neural compression.”
This could be reason for the severe headaches. You have to discuss the best treatment option with a neurologist, which can range from medication to physiotherapy to traction, cervical collars or even surgery. Hope your mother recovers soon!
Take care!
