White Matter Changes/Empty Sella

White Matter Changes/Empty Sella

I have a question about an MRI I just had - here's some of the info from the report: ...there is a poorly defined increased T2 signal in the supratentorial white matter bilaterally w/more focal signal changes in the right temporal lobe, and frontal lobe subcortically with subtle decreased T1 signal, normal diffusion and no enhancement. The findings are nonspecific and of uncertain significance, but lack of effusion signal and enhancement is against an active or ongoing process...  There is also an empty sella...

Question - what could the active or ongoing process be?  I went to my fam doc with c/o headaches, that I have been dealing with for some time - I thought it was those darn sinuses again.  My ears hurt, the front of my head, my cheeks, my teeth - so I figured it was sinusitis (again) - btw-they also found arthritis in my tmj... Your thoughts?
