What Does My MRI Scan Report Indicate?
Question: hi,
thanks for asking about me. I had appt with dr. Maselli at UCDavis for (another ) EMG. This one was much more thorough, then the next day met with Neuromuscular disease specialist. The answer is there is no answer. Neither one had ever seen anything like I have. No treatment was suggested. Then on Monday Dr. Masselli called and wants a muscle biopsy done so I have to make another trip there but if it gets some kind of answer that is okay.

Brief Answer:
Muscles biopsy is an important diagnostic test.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again and thanks for asking me directly.
A muscle biopsy could evaluate conditions such myopathies, or conditions that may affect muscles ( inflammatory, metabolic, distrophy ) and neuromuscular conditions.
So, I agree with this examination as an aid to achieve a correct diagnosis, but still think that a brain MRI is still necessary.
Hope you will find a favorable answer soon.
