How To Treat DVA?

I m a 25 years old mother of 2 small children with a post concussion from MVA in July 2013. Neurosurgerian found DVA on left side of my brain but said it wasn t something to be worried about. Treated me for post concussion but I have been experiencing severe migaraines and when it gets so bad I feel like there s a ice cube flowing through the vein in the left side of my brain. It doesn t hurt but it scares me. What is this? My vision therapist also said my left brain isn t accepting signals from my left eye. Is this related to the DVA?

Hi,Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
I reviewed facts of your query in context to your health issues and feel concerned about them.

My Primary Opinion-
Dear,In My opinion, in the given situation you seem to suffer from-
DVA with Migraine with? Vision Aura.
The migrain with vision aura,is mostly from shunting of blood supply to the affected parts of the brain in your case.

Do's-
I would advise to get Consults with NeuroSurgeon and or Vascular Surgeon after Angiography and plan treatment accordingly.
DVA is the developmental malformation of Veins, which in your seems to be pathologic in causing Migrain and hence would need treatment in your case.
Migraine treatment-
with medicines would resolve the issue in many cases..
Currently -Surgical intervention is not advised in DVA cases,as it may lead to brain infarcts/ or death,as these DVA's play important part in blood supply of the part affected.
AVM(arterio-Venous Mlaforamtions) and CCM-Cerebral-Cavernous Malformations need to be ruled out.This is because the pathologic CCM can be excised to give relief of complaints of headache etc.

Other causes need to be ruled out,after getting more details from you.
