MRI question

I went to the doctor today with complaints of a severe headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, etc. She said it's viral meningitis. She opted to do an MRI and had the results read today. She called a little while ago and said that my MRI showed a "pocket of blood vessels" that i've "probably had since birth". I didn't ask any questions because I'm going back to the doctor on Thursday and just really didn't feel up to discussing it anymore. It's really bothering me now because I'm not really sure what it means. Is that an AVM? Any info would be appreciated
Gosh, we would just be guessing what it is. What about just calling them tomorrow?Sure hope you feel better soon.

Thanks.. i know what i posted is very vague. I will definitely be calling them tomorrow. It's been a long few days!

If it was anything of importance the doctor's office would have called you by now. I suspect it's not an unusual finding and means nothing.

I agree with Jersery BSN, it's probably not an unusual finding. In fact, during my Neuro ICU rotation, I had a patient that had AVM and the nurse told me it's pretty common and people are born with AVM and it's not until their 30s-40s that they even figure out they have AVM because they go to the hospital for complaints similar to yours, or a fall/head injury and when an MRI/angiography is done, it shows an AVM. During our post-conference meeting after clinicals my instructor told me the same thing. (I'm actually a student nurse and next semester will be my last semester before I'm an OFFICIAL nurse). I hope you feel better!!
