NEED HELP...682-234-7695 Doctor: Hello !I understand your concern.Yours is a very rare and  specific condition.I would like to know more about the treatments you have tried before without results. Have you had a Braun MRI?This disorder can be caused by a structural  lesion of the brain . If you were my patient I would recommend you  a brain MRI and EEG to find out if there is any brain lesion.I would recommend you treatment with Oxcarbamazepine which has given good results in cases like yours. It is very helpful in vertigo too.Other drugs you may use are Carbamazepine, levetiracetam etc.If no results from therapy you may need brain surgery, if there is a lesion in MRI.Hope to have been helpful!Best wishes Dr. Abaz
