Does Venous Angioma In The Right Parietal Occipital Lobe Cause Headache And Weakness?

I suffer from left side weakness, headaches, tremors ( left side only) I get very tired easy and have problems remembering things (concentration is off). The doctor ordered a MRI and it showed a venous angioma in the right parietal occipital lobe. The doctor wants to dismiss this as nothing but has no answer for my symptoms. Can this be causing my symptoms?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is possible that the venous angioma might be causing all your symptoms. The venous angioma is an entanglement of vessels and it is in the back of the brain in right parietal and occipital lobes. The size of the lesion is not known and the symptoms might vary with the size of the angioma. Since it is located in the right occipital lobe and it is causing problems on the left side. Unless I see the images it is difficult to confirm all the possibilities but in many people headache can also be caused due to such tumors. It is not a cancer but the growth of the venous angioma can lead to progress of symptoms. You can send me your MRI scan brain images and discuss in detail. Please do not worry.
