Does Calcification Trigger Blurred Vision And Numbness On Right Side Of Head?

A few months ago I started having severe vision changes, I had a CT scan n the results read, punctate calcified plaque right supraclinoid internal carotid artery, punctate pineal calcification and choroid plexus calcification. At an early age I started suffering from severe headaches, I started wearing glasses at the age of twelve , I did go thru puberty until the age of 18, I have always had problems keeping weight on, and now more recently I have other changes, loss of equilibrium, vision changes, dizziness, complete vision loss for a few seconds, numbness thru out my entire left hemisphere and right face, numbness on right eye, and on the right side of my head, I wonder if the calcification can trigger so many symptoms. Should I be concerned of suffering from a mental illness?

Hi,

I am Dr.Bruno. I have read your question and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you

Let me first answer your two questions
Question 1 : I wonder if the calcification can trigger so many symptoms
Answer 1 : No.

Question 2 : Should I be concerned of suffering from a mental illness?
Answer 2 : No

The signs and symptoms you have described make me suspect that you may have some problem in the right side of brain stem.

Hence, I would advice you to kindly consult a Neurosurgeon and get an MRI Brain (Plain and Contrast) Done at the earliest to find the cause of the problems you have described

And Once Again, let me assure you . . .You may not be suffering from mental illness.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
