What Does My MRI Scan Report Indicate?
Question: I had an MRI done due to migraines and increased problems with my short-term memory. My MRI results states: "There is symmetric bilateral parietal white matter volume loss with mild periventricular FLAIR hyper intensity and ex vacuo dilatation of the trigones. Additional few tiny foci of FLAIR hyper intensity are scattered in bilateral cerebral white matter and pons."
What do theses results suggest and to which conditions (if any) could these results be attributed?
