CT reports are not visible here.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

If you would have presented to me as an outpatient, I would have ruled out ' Benign positional vertigo' by doing a 'hallpike dix test' If positive, vestibular rehabilitation therapy will help a lot.

Further, I am unable to your CT scan or any other reports attached here.Probably, there had been some error in uploading. Please reupload them.

I shall be glad to have you in follow-up with your CT scan's report.

Brief Answer:
CT scan is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up.

I have gone through your CT scan report which says that brain is normal.

It just mentions about enlarged jugular fossa.It may probable be a normal variant only as history is not likely to be in favor of a space occupying lesion(SOL).Still, as mentioned MRI of skull base and temporal bone can be done, for confirmation of the findings and ruling out any abnormality.

Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
