For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.This is just my personal experience, but when I had vertigo and other symptoms I was sent for a brain scan to rule out, if I remember rightly, an Acoustic Neuroma, which I believe is a benign brain tumour. The brain scan was fine and I was later diagnosed with Menieres Disease. I hope she gets some answers soon, vertigo is a very unpleasant thing to have.
Sam...I rarely have anything to offer on medical matters but a friend is going through this just now....
She thought it was vertigo but a scan (just to be sure) revealed something in her head that's been there since birth and has grown a little...Sqad may know, I can't recall what it is exactly....
Not life threatening, not cancer and she's been give the option of having it removed or living a long life with it though the occasional dizziness may worsen....she's having it removed any day now......
Of course you're concerned....we were when L was waiting for the scan but there are so many things it can be try not to dwell on the bad things.....difficult I know.....best wishes.....Gx

// His reasoning was to discount any problem there, if she has another "attack"//
the surgeon is truthing
Eve is also correct - he wants to exclude a neurinoma which is not high on the list to start
and good luck with the scan

I agree totally with his reasoning and also the post by PP, the scan just "guilds the Lily", "leaves no stone unturned" and rarely gives a diagnosis that wasn't apparent before the scan.
It makes a patient feel that "everything" has been done.
