white matter foci in subcortical white matter

[holl23]

I had an mri done in june and they said I had several nonspecific white matter foci in the subcortical white matter, although these are not typical of the demyelinating plaques due to ms, they are somewhat prominent due to my age of 40, I really would like to hear an answer back, I am getting frustrated.

RECENT MRI! FLAIR T2 HYPERINTENSITY IN THE LEFT SUBCORTICAL WHITE MATTER FRONTAL LOBE! MAY BE DUE TO CHRONIC MICROVADCULAR ISCHEMIC CHANGE! NO VOLUME LOSS!!

#2) 8mm T2 Hypertense Lesion in the superficial lobe of rt Parotid Gland! May represent NEOPLASM, PLEMORPHIC ADENOMA! INTRAPAROTOIF LYMP NODE POTENTIALLY CONSIDERED!

RECENT BAD LAB WORK!


GLOCOSE/107, MOFERATE RISK!
BUN/5.4,  LOW
BUN/CREATINE RATIO 9, LOW
AST SGOT/48, HIGH!!

IRON METABOLISM/14, LOW

hsCRP/2.5 MODERATE
Lp PLA2/249.60, HIGH!!

GLYCEMIC MARKERS
HbA1c, 5.9, MODERATE
GLUCOSE ESTIMATED 123 MODERATE

CHOLESTEROL RICH, HDL/14
TRI RICH, VLDL/10

BIG ALERT BOXES ON LAB WORK, SAYS..

CRP IS MAJOR INFLAMMATORY MARKER! STONG RISK MAKER FOR PRIMARY AND SECONDARY CHD EVENTS, SUDDEN DEATH, STROKE AND PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE!!
ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH INSULIN RESISTANCE AND METABOLIC SYNDROME!

RISK FOR CVD EVENTS AND ISCHEMIC STROKE!!
BOTH ELEVATED TOGETHER CARRY AN 11 FOLD RISK OF ISCHEMIC STROKE!!

SO I CARRY 11 FOLD RISK OF STROKE!!! :( Yikes!!!

RECOMENDATIONS...

STATINS, FIBRATES, ASPIRIN, PA INHIBITORS, ACEARB BETA BLOCKERS, THIAZOLIDNEDIONES, NSAIDS,

REDUCTIIN OF LDL BY ADDITIONAL 30mg
OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDs, CHOL..ABSORPTION INHIBITORS

NOW....LONG TERM SYMPTOMS!!

SYMPTOMS HAVE IMMITATED RELASPING REMITTING MS FOR MANY YEARS!!

SOME DOCS WAS SURE IT WAS MS!? SOME SURE IT WASNT!

I have been having headaches on the right side of my head, with radiating pain into my right eye. I have a family history of strokes. so went to my doctor and had an MRI done. I have Subcortical white matter demyelination, mucoperiosteal thickening in the right sphenoid sinus.
What does that mean?

GOOD DAY .MY FATHER IS A PARKINSONS PATEINT FROM LAST 15 YEARS THE NEW MRI REPORT SHOWS Few tiny non-specific abnormal signal foci in subcortical white matter in bilateral frontal lobes. If there is history of headaches these may represent migraine spots.I NEED YOU HELP ACCORDING TO HIS TREATMENT

What is white matter in the brain. Also what is foci, microangiopathic,

[chanchan4972]

I WENT TO THE ER BECAUSE MY SPEECH WAS SLURRED.. THE FINDINF OR NOTE ON MY MRI WAS FOCI OF INCREASED SIGNAL IN DEEP PERVENTRICULAR WHITE MATTER CONCERNING FOR CHANGES OF DEMYELINATING DISEASE PROCESS AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND CAUSE THEY ALSO DID A SPINAL TAP AND TESTES CAME BACK NEGATIVE FOR MS. BUT SOME OF MY BLOOD TEST FOR ANA SCREEN CAME BACK POSITIVE FOR LUPUS. MY BODY BEEN VERY WEEK AND ALOT OF BURNING IN THE IN SIGN OF MY BODY. SO CONFUSED TOO.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
White spots on MRI are seen in MS, microvascular disease (arteriosclerosis), some types of headaches, Alzhiemer’s disease, old age and even due to TBI. It is difficult to differentiate the white spots due to one disease from the white spots due to another. Patient history and other parameters are taken into consideration and co related with the MRI picture. If you have any symptoms then discuss this with a neurologist. Take care!
