Brief Answer:
You have benign findings.

Detailed Answer:
Hello CXXXX

As we discussed earlier,you have benign findings.There is nothing to be worried about.

You have three findings.
First one is related to pituitary cyst in brain.It is a benign condition.You need follow up scan.Your lesion is small and it is unlikely to cause any symptoms.If it increases in size or causes any symptoms then you should consult neurosurgeon.

Next finding is related to non specific white matter lesions in brain.As discussed,it also need follow up scan and need few investigations like random blood sugar,lipid profile,screening for hypertension.
Lesions greater than five in number should be the cause of concern.Large number lesions may be related to ischemic changes,demyelination,post traumatic sequel etc.

Last finding is related to changes of chronic sinusitis.You should avoid allergen and if there is associated problem like deviated nasal septum etc,it should be corrected.You should consult ENT specialist.

Get well soon.
