Question: My sons MR-Brain Findings: T1 and T2 images show mild prominence in the lateral ventricles without shift.
Does this mean he could have had a mild concussion? The test wasn't done till 18 days after he got hurt.

It's not related to concussion.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

Mild prominence of lateral ventricles can be a normal physiological finding.In absence of any symptoms of raised intracranial pressure like headache,vomiting or vision loss,this finding has no clinical correlation and has to be taken as insignificant.

It is not related to or not due to concussion.

Further,you can upload the MRI CD on google drive and share the link here,so that I can see and make a better impression.

Hope that I have answered your query for now.If you have no further queries,please close the thread,rate it and write a review as your rating will be of help to me else you can upload the MRI and I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
