36-year-old female with history of neurofibromatosis type 1 and hypothalamic glioma. Involving the inferior most aspects of the right and left hypothalami and extending to involve the infindibulum, there is a T2/FLAIR and T1-centrally hypointense, peripherally isointense bulbous mass with heterogeneous central enhancement. There is a small exophytic cystic component of the lesion which extends anteriorly and towards the left. The lesion is distinct form the posteriormost aspect of the optic chiasm. The last image demonstrates a subcutaneous neurofibroma in the left suboccipital region. Hypothalamic gliomas may or may not extend to involve the optic chiasm, and tend to occur in the setting of NF-1. Between 20-50% of those with hypothalamic-chiasmatic glioma have a family history of NF-1. Hypothalamic-chiasmatic gliomas in the setting of NF-1 tend to have a more indolent course, and may occasionally spontaneously regress. On histologic section, the lesions are juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas. Cystic change and enhancement are common. NMR223

I know I might have scared you a bit with my Pseudotumor Cerebri video. Out of context, it seems like a very scary thing. It is, but I'm not really a stranger to seriously intense migraines and chronic pain. Neurofibromatosis is a genetic condition I've had since birth, so I have a lot of experience with it.

My videos on this channel are still mainly books, writing, and general fun stuff. I wanted to make this video for anyone out there who is scared about their own diagnosis or for anyone who wants to learn more.

I also believe that disability should not be so stigmatized, so it is important to show that my health may limit me somewhat, but I am still able to live an awesome life. Chronic pain or disabilities of any sort are just a limitation, they don't define a person.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed or learned something from this video and I hope you stick around for more videos! Thanks for watching!
