Has Anyone Had A Scan Which Showed A Small Left Frontal Lobe?
I was looking over some very old medical records that I havent accessed before and seen that 1 of my eariest scans showed a smaller left frontal lobe. Nearly 30 years later this morning Ive had a lightbulb moment in regards to many symptoms like speech, handwriting skills, balance and some behaviours or the way I communicate that neuro-typical people may deem to be inappropriate or odd
Remarkable that I was never really aware of this before today! Always learning something new about myself is⦠read more
Everyone has an interesting signature for the cause of their sz activity. The longer I work the more causes they discover. I loved working in research and noting different causes and new medications, relaxation protocol, diets, I love research! I wish the best for everyone!
I had a TBI (traumatic brain injury) in high school, which damaged the left frontal lobe. My language use, memory, handwriting, balance, and reasoning skills were all affected. I was in rehab for a year, working on rhyming and associating techniques, hand-eye coordination, and reasoning skills. They have workbooks out there to help teach methods of learning and comprehension skills. Look it up on Google. I wish you all the best in your quest!
Besides the 3 Neuroepithelial cysts that was on my right front temporal lobe, they removed 98% of each cyst in 2017, they also saw a small lobe on the left side of my brain. I was told that it was so small and so deep that they needed to deep brain stimulate the NF1, which involves implanting electrodes, through my nose into that area of my brain. The electrodes produce electrical impulses that affect brain activity to treat many certain medical conditions, where NF1 falls within the list. Any electrical impulses also can affect cells and chemicals within the brain that cause medical conditions. I am glad that the doctor that went ahead with my right front temporal lobe surgery and refused this surgery for it was so far into my brain he was afraid of what would happed if the surgery went ahead.
I have moderate generalized brain atrophy, most prominent on the left temporal (and front) side. I've also been diagnosed with semantic variant Primary Progressive Aphasia which certainly affects my speech, trying to find words and ability to understand words when spoken to. This also affects my balance along with the right basal ganglia lacunar infarct from years ago.
It's remarkable to uncover new information about one's medical history that may explain some ongoing symptoms. A smaller left frontal lobe found on a past scan could help explain some of the speech, handwriting, balance, and communication differences you describe.
