2 Years Ago, I Lost Vision And Had Pain In
Question: 2 years ago, I lost vision and had pain in my left eye. I was diagnosed with optic neuritis and had two MRI's done (with and without contrast). Both came out clear. My vision returned a few weeks later. About 2 weeks ago I started feeling tingly on my fingers and feeling some legs aches as well. I also had some blurry vision that would come and go, along with some numbness on my left cheek. I just went to another MRI yesterday to which they did not find lesions, but mentioned a DVA in my brain. What is this? Is this a cause for concern?
Brief Answer:
DVA are malformations of veins in brain.
