Hyperintensive Foci

Hi,

My dad has recently had am MRI and the finding is non- specific ischemic foci frontal subcortical white matter. It also says multiple discrete hyperintensive foci on T2 weighted / FLAIR images noted in bilateral frontal subcortical white matter. My dad is suffering from Seminona (Testicular cancer), has undergone 4 cycles of Chemotherapy & recently operated. Please help, need to understand if its normal. What will the treatment and the reason why it happened?

Thanks,
Esha

That MRI finding is very non-specific, as the MRI report says. White matter findings can be the result of so many things from migraines to MS, so you need to work with the neurologist to get more testing to determine what, if anything needs to be done.
