At your age, if imaging studies (especially mri) are normal, your most likely have a benign origin. Consider stress, migraines, or even sinus congestion as possible causes which can be corrected. However, if the headaches are sometimes severe, consider consulting with a neurologist specializing in headaches.

Approach at this time is a bit of patience. You have had exams appropriate for the initial evaluation of cystic changes in the pancreas. The MRI report is usually available within 24 hours and should go a long way in sorting out the possibilities. Conjecture now is unlikely to be helpful.

Question 6

What would an mri of my head show that a sinus ct scan and a maxiofacial ct scan didnt?

Accepted Answer

MRI is more helpful for soft tissue problems of blood vessels, inflammation, demyelination of brain tissue, and fluid collections.  It seems you are undergoing a lot of tests, but without a clear diagnosis you can not be certain of the correct treatment.  Ask your physician to explain the different treatments these tests will suggest.   Tests are not useful, solely,  because you have symptoms.
