Venous Lake Treatment and Urgency of Treatment?

October 15, 2012
Asked By:Sandy Jensen

Had CT scan of the brain on 10/8/12 and was told I had veins growing in the skull bone in venous lakes. Have not been back to the doctor yet but have been having muscle spasms around the right ear in the head, and my facial and neck skin feels very warm. Are these normal symptoms or should it be looked at quickly?

Michael M. Omidi, MD, FACS says:

Thank you for the question! It is rather difficult to fully assess your situation without an in-person exam. Such an exam would be necessary to ensure that your bulging vein is not an artery. If you do have a varicose vein, however, it can be effectively treated with sclerotherapy. This m...

What Could Cause my Lower Lip to Turn Purplish?
Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS says:
