Question: I JUST HAD A MRI AND THE TEST RESULTS SHOW THEY FOUND A SMALL RIGHT FRONTAL HEMANGIOMA VISUALIZED IN THE DIPLOIC SPACE. THE CALVARIUM IS OTHERWISE UNREMARKABLE. BUT AT THE END IT SAYS NEGATIVE MRI OF THE BRAIN NO ACUTE INTRACRANTAL ABNORMALITY
Brief Answer:
The MRI scan is negative for a brain stroke
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. A hemangioma is a benign tumor which is seen in the bone on your forehead region to the right of midline. This is not a serious concern and I have seen many of my patients having one. It grows slowly and usually does not cause any symptoms. This is the reason the doctors have mentioned "NEGATIVE FOR ACUTE INTRACRANIAL ABNORMALITY".
2. Since you are feeling weak on your left side and leg restlessness, it was a possibility that you might have had a stroke like episode. The above MRI scan findings rule out a stroke as a probable cause for your weakness.
3. It is possible that your symptoms might be due to a metabolic imbalance or anxiety. A complete neurological examination will help and few laboratory blood tests might be required after assessing your condition.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
