Help with Brain MRI diagnosis!

by Gen448, Nov 08, 2009 09:01PM
Hi!  I recently had a MRI which came back with a finding of a nonspecific 6mm focus of abnormal signal within the white matter adjacent to the left frontal horn with no other abnormal signal foci seen within the white matter.  
What exactly does and can that mean?  I've been having dizziness that comes and goes but has been happening more frequently for around a year now.  My ears were checked and were deemed normal, I've had blood tests that come back normal though I haven't yet seen the neurologist.  About a year ago I had what can only be described as an electric current go through my body.  I was just sitting at the time.  I could hardly breathe and my mouth went real dry.  I went to the emergency room but they said I just had a panic attack without doing any real testing.  I think that's around the time I started having dizzy spells.  I'm not sure if the dizziness is related to the findings on the MRI and am just wondering if someone has any info that could help me!

It refers to scar tissue or a lesion. Causes of this are infection, exposure to certain chemicals, or problems with the immune system. A lesion in this part of the brain could be responsible for dizziness or even vertigo.

Take care
