MRI Results

[tmegsjr]

This is the reported findings of my MRI should I be concerned? Do i need to follow up with anything, possibly a CTA scan?

There is a 19x6 mm (length x width) hyperintense T1, hyperintense FLAIR, extra-axial fluid collection over the left frontal lobe. This restricts diffusion. No significant mass effect on the underlying brain parenchyma. No abnormal extra-axial fluid collection elsewhere.
There is an ill-defined 12x12 mm isointense T1. hyperintense T2/FLAIR, nonenhancing signal abnormality area in the left parietal periventricular white matter. No diffusion restriction or surrounding edema at this area of signal abnormality. No mid-line shift or mass effect. No hydrocephalus. Major cerbrovascular flow voids are preserved.

Impression:
Hyperintense extra-axial signal over the left frontal lobe concerning for subacute left frontal extra-axial hematoma.

Hyperintense T2/FLAIR signal in the left periventricular white matter is nonspecfic. Consideration include prior infarct, prior infection/inflammation, demyelinating process. Recent intraparenchymal hemorrhage could also be considered. Malignancy is less likely given to the lack of enhancement and lack of surrounding edema.

I would follow up but he's out of town for the next two weeks.

I do not know what demyelination might be responsible for the "Hyperintense T2/FLAIR signal in the left periventricular white matter" means.
