I still listen to Tesla almost weekly, Cant wait for their covers album & boxed set to arrive within the year.

Kinda cool, But I purchased some Tesla CD's from a seller on half.com that were autographed by 4/5ths the band (Except for guitarist Tommy Skeoch, Who was in rehab during part of their last tour in support of the GREAT album "Into the Now")

Here is the MRI report results:

History: Headaches, dizziness, confusion, unusual calcification in the right temporal lobe reported on prior CT scan.

Findings: There is a 2.2 cm X 3.5 cm extraaxial space in the anterior portion of the right middle cranial fossa. (Roughly 1" x 1.5")

Elsewhere, there is no mass, mass effect, midline shift, hydrocephalus, abnormal extraaxial fluid collection or hemorrage. The gray/white junction is maintained. The region of the sella is unremarkable. The cerebellum is unremarkable; there is no tonsillar ectopia.

Impression:
Suspected arachnoid cyst versus focal atrophy in the anterior portion of the right middle cranial fossa. Although calcification has been reported in this region, MRI is suboptimal compared to CT scan, for evaluating for calcification. Otherwise, MRI of the brain is unremarkable. Followup MRI would be reasonable in six months, to confirm stability.

--------------------------

Have to setup an appt. with my Dr. to decide how to treat this arachnoid cyst...And yes, the doctors & radiologist do believe I had a stroke in the recent past (Considering where that cyst is located, and it's size that may have caused the stroke).

At least now it explains some of the nuerological problems I have suffered as of late, And the weakness I have on my rightside of my body.
