Mri and csf analysis meeded

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query
I think I would be able to help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible neurological involvement. I would like to indicate that the symptoms Are also those that occur with cranial nerve involvement.
I would suggest a MRI BRAIN as well. It's absolutely necessary to ensure that the symptoms Are not due to a stroke or infection.
This may be best found out by mri brain followed by a csf examination.
I would suggest that you try to take both the tests.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
