there are multiple small perventricularand subcortical  punctate regions of hyperintense FLAIR and T2 signal identified.These    are nonspecificans may be related to some moderate diffuse microvascular oschemic white matter disease.What does this mean?Also what is clinical correlation?

Im sorry I think I posted my question in the wrong place.

My entire left side went numb and is very weak and my tounge is even numb and my vision is very blurry. I went to the hopsital was admitted and they did a MRI with and without contrast. The  results showed: Small linear focus of hyperintense T2/Flair signal abnormality centrum semiovale right frontal lobe of uncertain clinical significance. Then in the "IMPRESSION" area they put: Punctate signal abnormality deep white matter right frontal lobe of uncertain clinical significance, possible area of remote traumatic or ischemic injury. What does that mean?
Now I am also having numbness in my right hand and right foot.
They also did the MRI of my neck and it says: multilevel degenerative facet arthropathy contributes to moderate left neuroforaminal narrowing C3 /4 and mild to moderate bilateral narrowing at the level of C6/7. There is evidence of degenerative synovitis on the left at  C4/5.

I am trying to find out if I had a stroke or if this is caused my my neck.

Thank you,

Ischemic microvascular basically means tiny little lesions that could be caused by high blood pressure.  Clinical correlation probably means more testing.

Hey, check out our health pages - they're chock full of information that might help you decipher your test results.  Also don't be afraid to google the terms in your report.  It's what I did, and I found out a lot.
