Hearing loss in both ears, heart patient, have MRI report. Can any online doctor help me to read it?
Patient: Sir, I am 75 year old retired executive. After retirement I was keeping myself busy with training programs for employees in several cos. Suddenly six months back I had loss of hearing in both my ears. As no treatment could help, I had to go for hearing aid (though hearing aid also not very effective). Due to sudden hearing loss I had to stop my training activities and thus I went into deep depression . Started feeling heaviness in the head. I am also a heart patient of irregular and low pulse rate (heart beat around 50 p.m.). On advice of a Dr. I went for my MRI . The concluding remark of MRI report is: B/L Few Old Ischemic Foci, Gross Generalised Brain Atrophy and Right Maxillary Polyp as described. I am taking Carvistar, Isonorm, ECOSPIRIN AV 150 for my heart problem and CENSPRAM PLUS for depression. Kindly advice the meaning of my MRI report (i.e.B/L FEW OLD ISCHEMIC FOCI,GROSS GENERALISED BRAIN ATROPHY AND RIGHT MAXILLARY POLYP AS DESCRIBED. ) Is there any serious problem in the brain. Am I taking right medicines. Pl. help. Rajendra Prasad (75 years), Lucknow. Doctor: Hi, The M.R.I. reads that there are old ischemic foci means loss of blood supply. and atrophy secondary to the ischemia, but both can't produce, sudden loss of hearing.                          The maxillry polip is there and it can have some relation to the heahing. I advise you to consult an E.N.T.surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. polepectomy may help you to some extent. Thank you.
