Question
Hello Dr, I had a brain Mri one year ago, along with a ct scan of my parasinuses. Both test where normal, my brain scan did show some ossification in the falx which my Nureo said was nothing to worry about. Recently I have been having on and off dull ache in my left temple,, I do worry alot. Would a brain tumor grow in this period or does it take time to manifest. I have had three brain mri in the last 4 years for headaches and muscles spasms. I have no other neuro symptoms. I did see the ent who said I have alot of inflammation in my sinuses and gave me omnicef but the ache is still there.  

Answer
Well, based on the information you have given me it is most unlikely that your symptoms have anything to do with any brain tumor. That is all I can tell you based on that information.
