MRI Results
by LC1969, Jul 25, 2008 10:40AM
I just recieved my MRI results from a stand in doctor while my doctor is on holidays. His explanation of the results were quite unclear. He has stated that the findings were probably from a concusion or trauma to the head. (I was in a car accident but did not hit my head and do not recall ever having a concusion). My legs have been tingling alot off and on and throbe. They were really bad about 10 years and it seemed to subsied and now it is coming back.
I have to wait for 2 weeks to see my doctor and was wanting a little more clarity on the results if possible and any questions I should be asking my doctor.
Findings:
There are multiple small foci of increased signal in the T2- and FLAIR-weighted images invloving the corticomedullary junction in the anterior aspect of the left frontal lobe and to lesser extent in the posterior aspect of the frontal lobes adjacent to the central sulcus in both cerebral hemisphere. These foci of increased signal measure approximately 2 mm in diameter and are not associated with underlying edema. The posterior fossa structures appears normal. The craniocervical junction is unremarkable and the pituitary gland is normal.
Impression:
Small Foci of increased signal on the T2- and FLAIR-weighted images at the corticomedullary junction from the frontal lobes and left temporal lobe may, given the patients history, represent areas of diffuse axial injury. Less likely, etiologies would include demyelina disease or small vessel diease. For follow, I recommend a repeat MRI exam in 3 months time, which should include a T2*-gradient recall echo sequence.
Thank you in advance for any direction or information you can provide.
