Thank you so much I really appreciate your response.

I went to a neurologist and He told me that is something minor no to worry about it.
His prescription was Conventine 100 mg Ambenzim 5mg and Milga Nerve tonic.

Warmly,

I always wait for the doctor to explain the MRI. A MRI by itself means nothing. You have to have a history, symptoms, and neurological exam to compare it to.

Yep Yep I agree with MaxtheCat and rendean.

Tiny foci can be seen in anyone's brain and causes from headaches, hypertension, smoking, etc.  It's more location and if MRI repeated and you form new ones...then that would raise an eyebrow.  

However, a few people have been diagnosed with punctate foci and there's been people that have been diagnosed without any lesions on MRI at the present time.

We have great health care pages to the right of the forum and you may find it a good thing to browse through and educate yourself.

My advice to you is to ask your ordering doctor what his/her thoughts on the MRI findings.  This way you don't have to second guess or ask here and get non definitive answers.  Then again...sometimes Neurologists give non definitive answers. LOL

Let us know!

Hi and welcome!

I am NOT any kind of expert On MRI findings but I agree with maxthecat about the findings do not scream out MS. But, you need your neuro to confirm this and make a clinical correlation.

Keep us updated,

Welcome to the forum!

Of course, your neurologist will have to examine the MRI himself, but it sounds like the radiologist isn't seeing lesions that look like demyelinating disease at this time.  So, that's good news- at least for now.
