MRI shows encephalomalacia

by mrnmman, May 16, 2009 12:00AM
Just received a letter with results of my MRI from  the VA. I will follow up but it could take awhile to get a straight answer. "1) The lateral frontal and temporal encephalomalacia consistent with history of prior trauma. 2) Tornwaldt cyst. 3.5 mm right paratid nodule along the anterolateral  margin, probably a normal intraparotid lymph node, although a comparison with any prior imaging would be useful to confirm stability."  So what and where are these things and what are the possible effects. I have had a few bumps of the head but have never lost consciousness. I have been treated with drugs and ECT for depression for over 15 years. Could the ECT treatments be responsible for the encephalomalacia? Possible prognosis(s). Effects...
Thanks

To: B/L Frontal Encephelomalasia
I'm curious enough and smart enough to google / bing this diagnoses I got today from a doctor today - What I can't find is an answer in plain English.

Is there anyone out here can tell me what I need to know. What questions do I ask a neurolist that I'm binging sent to.
