Does ovoid plaques cause unexplained dizziness ?
Patient: I ve suffered from unexplained dizziness episodes for 7 yrs now and just discovered if I turn my head slightly to the right, it makes it go away. Have had many tests done including MRI & MRA of brain and a spinal tap. The MRI showed ovoid plaques in/on left and right frontal lobes but spinal tap did not show anything. Was just wondering if the dizziness is related to these ovoid plaques or possibly my torticollis? Doctor: Hello,  Those plaques might partially obstruct the blood flow to the brain and leads to the symptoms.  Consult a physician to rule out other causes also.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain,  General & Family Physician
