Julie Ryan

Circle of Willis

Donya from Port Orchard, WA, asked:

Hi Julie,

Could I have a medical scan please?

After you scanned me in February 2017 my headache went away the next month in March and has not returned.

In August 2018 I had an MRI done of my brain. The results were normal except there was fluid in my mastoid bone. Doctors still aren’t sure what the fluid is or where it came from. Also, I think I saw an unruptured aneurysm at my Circle of Willis.

What are your thoughts concerning these issues?

I appreciate what you do … thank you!

Donya

Hi Donya,

Fluid in the mastoid bone (the bone directly behind the ear) is known as Mastoiditis.

Mastoiditis occurs when too much fluid is found in mastoid air cells, which are honeycomb-like structures filled with air that drain into the middle ear. When the middle ear becomes infected, the inflammation may pass into the mastoid cells, causing fluid buildup in the mastoid bone.

Symptoms can include pain behind the ear, swelling or redness behind the ear with a small protrusion, fever, drainage from the ear. The usual treatment for Mastoiditis is a round of antibiotics.

From what I saw while scanning you, it looks like the issue is with your right ear. I saw (in my mind’s eye) a small tear in your eardrum most likely caused by an ear infection. I watched an energetic healing occur that drained the fluid in your mastoid and repaired your eardrum.

Now, with regard to your comment about an unruptured aneurysm in the Circle of Willis in your brain, an aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge of an artery wall and the Circle of Willis is a ring or circle of arteries located at the base of the brain.

The circle is important because it provides a form of backup in case any of the involved arteries is obstructed. If one artery is constricted or blocked, the flow of blood from the other arteries in the circle will most often be enough to preserve the necessary flow to the brain and prevent damage.

While scanning you, although I didn’t see (again in my mind’s eye), an aneurysm, I did see a section on the lower right side of the Circle of Willis where the arterial wall looked thin.

In order to prevent a possible aneurysm, I watched an energetic healing performed on you that inserted a polyester graft (tube that opens and strengthens an artery) into the thin section of the arterial wall.

Having said all that, be smart and continue to consult with your doctors and get scans when necessary. I believe you’ll be just fine.
