IMPRESSION: 1. No Acute-subacute Infarction, Intracranial Hemorrhage Or Mass Effect.
Question: IMPRESSION:
1. No acute-subacute infarction, intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect.
2. Moderate cerebral greater than more mild cerebellar atrophy.
3. Stable focus of gradient susceptibility in the right occipital lobe,
consistent with hemosiderin deposition from remote hematoma. Stable focus
of gradient susceptibility in the right cerebellum, may represent
hemosiderin deposition from remote microhemorrhage (either chronic
ischemic or hypertensive mediated).

Brief Answer:
Changes likely due to uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to the "Ask a Doctor" service.
I have read the imaging study report that you provided.
These findings show that there is mild loss of the cerebral mass (or atrophy).
There was also intracerebral hematoma in the past at the cerebellum and occipital lobe.
These findings are seen mostly in cases of ill-controlled high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.
So, it is necessary to control correctly any possible underlying condition to stop the progression of these changes.
Discuss with your Neurologist these issues, or provide more information about your symptoms, medical history, in order for me to understand better your condition.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask if you have further questions.

Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
If there are cognitive problems, dementia ( in such a case vascular dementia) is a possible condition.
This possibility is supported by the MRI findings of mild atrophy and areas of damaged brain tissue.
The atrophy may have been caused mainly by the chemotherapy, while other problems found i the MRI are most likely of uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Discuss with the Neurologist for an appropriate management and treatment of the cognitive issues.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
