“Neurological Diagnosis ”
I would like to ask a question if I test positive for COVID-19 and if I had a cavernous hemangioma, Could I be at risk of a brain haemorrhage.
My lesion is located on the brainstem to the right paracentral pons.
I’ve also got a history of seizures and I’m not sure whether that’s causing it or my dysautonomia which is my neurocardiogenic syncope.
My seizures started back in 2015, And back then me myself had no history because I’m adopted I didn’t have a lot of information in terms of medical family history but my biological mother had epilepsy.
And at the same time in 2015 I had a contraceptive implant called nexplanon, And after usage that’s when the dysautonomia episodes start at happening.
Also if I did have a haemorrhage in that pons region would I survive that impact or would it cause sudden death.

A cavernous hemangioma in the pons is unlikely to cause an epileptic seizure or neurocardiogenic syncope whether afflicted with COVID or not. COVID patients can get headaches, seizures and confusion. There is a risk of hemorrhage with a cavernous hemangioma and you should discuss this with your neurologist or neurosurgeon
Covid should not be a major concern please think positive you are you and long life to go. You need periodic images, to monitor.
Cavernous hemangiomas are malformations of the smallest blood vessels. Those in the head tend to be on the surface of the brain. They can bleed, and cause headaches, seizures, and strokes. Most don’t do any of these things. Usually, they are discovered by a brain scan done for another reason. About 20% of them are hereditary. So most people with them have no family history and only about 10% of people with them ever have symptoms of any kind.
