Brain MRI Results

[Laura67]

Was wondering if anyone could help me with my MRI results. Was referred to a neurologist but still waiting for insurance to approve. This is what it says:

There are multiple small foci of T2 signal abnormality involving the subcortical white matter. The largest on the left is in the frontal lobe measuring 6mm. The largest on the right is in the parietal lobe also measuring 6mm. These are nonspecific.

Hard to wait to see what the Dr has to say , like to be somewhat prepared before going.
thank you

Thank you for you honesty in your answer, am in the process of getting an appointment with a neurologist. Just wanted to prepare my mind a bit prior to going.

Thank you for your question. Although without being able to placing your findings in context with clinical features and the results of other investigation such as hematological, MRI, I can not offer the specific advice & treatment you need. However, I will try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.

There can be many possibilities in your case that involve the brain white matter, either exclusively or in combination with grey matter changes. These include metabolism errors, exogenous toxins released by virus, autoimmune disease, leukodystrophy, demyelination, and radiation effects. Spasticity, muscle weakness, paralysis, hyper-reflexia and movement disorder may be the clinical features associated with white matter disease that need to be evaluated thoroughly. However, it is sad to say that there is no permanent cure but conservative treatment & physiotherapy exercises that would help you to regain your normal function and stopping the further progression of the disease. Please consult a neurologist in this regards. Hope this helps.
