Hey Guys, I read about basilar skull fractures and there was written that it can cause vision, problems, sexual problems, and nerve damages. I think that like Sherlock Holmes I have found a track(with your help). So methaporically said you were my Dr. Wattson . I will go to a doctor and see if there is something that can be done about my condition. I will see if there are sinus problems and other stuff. Thank you very much for the information and the support. I will post as soon as I get some results.

Hey guys, I discovered what does "blood-nerve vessel conflict in the 5th right part of the brain means". The nerve in the 5th right part of the brain is the nerve that connects the brain with the facial muscles in the right part of the face. So the blood vessel supress the nerve and it causes problems. I have wondered why my right eyebrow is lower than the left one and my right eye is a little bit more "sleepy" than the left one like an insult damage. So this is a proof that after the hit in the nose a damage to some nerves in my brain occurred. So I have to go to a neuro-surgeon to talk about this problem, because I think that this nerve is maybe close to the eye nerves which are damaged too because I can't see with the peripherical eyesight. So it must have been a basiliar skull fracture because I read that blood enters and suppress nerves in the brain and it can affect the eyesight the hearing and facial muscles..if those nerves are close to the pituary gland it can be assumed that the blood damaged it too and that explains all the symptoms including the sexual problems I have because . Thank you for your advice I hope that I will find all the reasons for the problems I have and solve them. I will write when I have other information and evidence. And what do you think about my assumptions ?

I think it maks sense. The cranial nervs are often damaged in a trauma incident. I have problems from behind the right eye to the roof of my mouth and my tongue. That is one specific cranial nerve. Others go different places. It makes sense.

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺).

Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky!

Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance.

Hey I read your symptoms and that thing that you need to look down when you walk in order not to stumble , I have this problem too. Not only down but I don't see very well with the peripherical eyesight. I don't feel safe to drive car because can't see in the both sides of the car what is happening and when I look for example in the right rearview mirror I don't see what is going on in front of me and can crash. How do you solve your problems, to what doctors did you go and what treatment they assigned to you? Those symptoms occured after the hit in my nose and I suppose blood suppress some nerves but the problem is that 5 years have passed and now the MRI don't show blood or something. the only thing is this nerve conflict. Can this nerve conflict be the reason for my symptoms ?

Thugangel,

Quick answer...the vestibular therapist said that it is important to gradually look up as one is walking - as you can without feeling too awful -- and fixate on a tree or something as you are walking toward it. This is retraining the brain. Do it is a safe place.
I find it hard, but am trying to do it. When you are ready, they also suggest going into a supermarket with lots of time and slowly go up the aisle looking for items. Great vestibular therapy. Still hard for me but I am improving.

Have you had your vision checked by a neuro opthamologist or behavioural optometrist? Also check your vestibular system. It is all connected and controlled by the brain stem and cranial nerves.

Hard to get an accurate diagnosis but SO important in order to get the rit rehab plan in place!
Take care.

Hi Mokey
No , I have not been to neuro-ophthalmologist nor to the other doctors you have mentioned. I must go and consult with those professionals. Yes it is hard to find out the problems and their treatment . So if a cranial nerve is damaged it can result in problems with the vision and the vestibular system is that what you are saying? And what those doctors check I mean for example the neuro ophthalmologist what he did, did he check you with pieces of technology or the movement of the eyes , and how the vestibular system is checked ?Excuse me if I want too much information but you have gone through this and your advice can be useful. Thank you
