Hi guys,

My recent MRI results show venous vascular malformations in the right cerebral cortex. Does anyone know if these could be contributing. to CFS/ME? My neuro symptoms include EMF sensitivity and buzzing in the ears. I also have LGS and the MTHFR mutation.

Thanks all!

Audrey

Apparently its something people are born with and can show up randomly with age .. interesting though.. Basically a pooling or shunt of excess lymphodes, or blood

I'd stay on top of something like that though... Having excess blood in different areas of the brain could seemingly lead to pressure on different parts of the brain. I suppose whatever the doctor says to be safe with it.. Most cases seem benign apparently.
