T2 and T2 FLAIR weighted images

[ramiiy]

hi,
my husband aged 36 yrs, had mild numbness on his foot constantly for many days, he had an mri scan done, in that report some thing related to T2 flair images,but the doctor says that it is nowhere related to the numbness in foot, but it should be furthur examined by CT scan,
i m just copying the data on the report, and doctor advised to take Neurontin - 300 mg tablets daily
is it advisable to take this medicine, and plz let me know whether it is considered as serious disorder

There is a small 1 cm cortical based lesion likely involving the
posterior middle frontal gyrus of the left frontal lobe. There appears
to be a small tangle of vessels within the lesion without a prominent
feeding or draining vessel identified. Small amount of adjacent T2
hyperintense signal may relate to gliosis. No pathologic intracranial
enhancement. This may relate to a small cavernoma versus small AVM or
hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.

Further evaluation with susceptibility weighted images and CT of the
head is recommended.

Hi RamiiY - Welcome to the group.

MS means Multiple Sclerosis. You happened to post you question in a forum dedicated to the discussion of multiple sclerosis :-)

I'm not a radiologist, but the laguae from thee report points to vasular issues rather than nerve issues. MS attacks nerves. This may be why the doc wants a CT scan.

hi
what does MS means

For MS you have to have a MRI. CT scans are not for MS.
