Comments:
Update as of 02/10/08 - I had my MVD 0n 01/24/08 with Drs. Jannetta & Sekula in Pittsburgh and the good news is that I am “SPASM FREE”. During the surgery Dr. Jannetta and Sekula noticed that the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) was damage which is the largest branch of the vertebral and the third main arterial blood supplies for the cerebellum. To correct the problem, the Doctor’s grafted PICA, which I can probably say, is why the dizziness is still present as of today. Also an incision was made in my back to insert a tube that allows the fluid from my brain to drain. I came out the hospital 01/26/08 and saw Drs. Jannetta and Sekula 0n 01/28/08 before traveling back to Maryland. On 02/04/08 my primary care physician removed the staples. After surgery - week 2 the dizziness is still present, sometimes my balance is a bit off but it’s not as bothersome as the dizziness. I am getting concern because my return to work date is 02/19/08.
