My late wife had a brain tumor that put pressure on the sinus veins, causing increased cranial pressure that affected her eyesight. We learned through the process that many people have significant occlusions in those veins - some 100% on one side. It’s no problem for most people… and until recently there was little to do if there was a problem. If you ever have a reason to get a contrast MRI of your brain, do it!

How uncanny to find this thread right now, just a day after I had a bizarre case of sinus pain influencing my eyesight and dexterity somehow. Definitely something I should look into ASAP. Thank you Baader–Meinhof I suppose.

  My terminology was poor. The venous sinuses aren’t associated with your sinus. They are sort of like the storm drain for your brain, in a sense, not the same as the nasal sinus. Sorry I can’t edit.

I want to point out that bruxism at night can also cause similar symptoms via the same pathways.

I had to pay $3K cash to get an MRI of my knee one time, wonder how much for the brain, maybe the same?

  You can get it done anywhere around the world in a private setting likely for 10% of the cost. https://ujbudamedicalcenter.hu/en/prices/ https://ujbudamedicalcenter.hu/en/prices/ And if you go in the summer you can enjoy the warm night breeze of Budapest too!

  An MRI of my lower back would have cost €160 in Europe had I been paying cash. Imagine having a free European vacation included with your MRI...

  I suppose any Soviet block country should do it for around $50.
