He recently started having headaches and had an MRI on Monday. There were lesions on the MRI. Now he is being referred to a neurologist to rule out MS.
Do you know anyone on this board that had similar symptoms prior to MS diagnosis?
Tumor in Cerebellum
Tumor in Cerebellum
Hello - My husband is going through the diagnosis stage. Back in November he was severly dehydrated and could not walk. An MRI showed he had hydrocephalus and a large tumor in the right cerebellum. The original diagnosis was either Lhermitte Duclos or glioma. He was goiong to have a biopsy but the steoid Dexamethasone made the tumor disappear.

Re: Tumor in Cerebellum
I've had a brain tumor (metastasis from earlier lung cancer), but the effects were mainly headaches & nausea, and mine was surgically removed. Also, that was 12+ years before my first known MS symptoms.
Of the things you mention, not being able to walk could be an early MS sign, but that would depend on the details. I don't think hydrocephalus or tumors have been correlated with MS.
Best of luck to you both,
Mark
