My son's brain MRI showed many abnormalities. This is expected because he has obvious mentalMental retardation Mental status tests and physical symptoms. However, I feel as if the Neurologist should have explained more and made us aware of the dangerous situation we could be facing.
Here are the most profound findings as noted: (ANY ONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS)
1) There is mild diffuse prominence of the sulci throughout both cerebral hemispheres and prominence of the cerebellarAcute cerebellar ataxia folia which likely reflects parenchymal volume loss. Additionally, the ponsConsumer rights and responsibilities and midbrain appear small. There is diffuse thinning of the corpus callosum.
3) Overall, white matter volume appears decreased and there is continued extensive patchy T2 Signal involving the white matter of both cerebral hemispheres. Additional abnormal t2 prolongation is observed within the pons, middle cerebellar peduncles, and midbrain. The overall degree of T2 prolongation within the white matter appears diminished.
4) There is abnormal susceptibility related signal loss involving the globus pallidus bilaterally which reflects mineralization.
