I recently had an mri done of my brain and in the findings it says.

The ventricles appear to be within normal limits in size and position. There are no abnormal area of increased or decreased are in the brain, except for a few tiny chronic ischemic foci in the right marrow. There are no extra-axial mass or fluit collecitons seen. Diffusion images are unremarkable.There are no _______in the bain. there are no extracranial abnormality identified.

Impresssion: 1 Negative MRI of the brain with and without contrast

What does this mean

Hi,
Ischemic white matter changes is a very common finding in the MRI scan. The most common cause of such changes is hypertension. Other causes include migraine, stroke and inflammatory processes like Lupus, multiple sclerosis etc. Please consult a neurologist for a complete neurological examination and correlation of the findings with the MRI report. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
