Hello,

Your CT report shows T2 hyperintensities in CT. T2 hyperintensities can be indicative of diseases like multiple sclerosis. High blood pressure can lead to white matter changes. Diabetes, infection and aging can also contribute to these changes. Such changes can lead to symptoms like cognitive decline, problem in thinking and reasoning. they also affect balance and walking.

T2 hyperintensity can be observed also in areas affected by inadequate blood supply. Some tumors and growths can also have T2 hyperintensity. Yes, it is concerning. You are advised to get clinically examined by a GP and get treated for the cause at the earliest. For further treatment, you may be directed to meet a neurologist and a physical therapist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
