I had a MRI of the Brain without contrast. Results came back single focus of increased signal in the left frontal lobe consistent with a small area of ischemia/gliosis , no acute ischemic changes. Small Bilateral hippocampus cysts. I am 45. Is this a common finding on MRI and could it be associated with the Memory problems, word association and information processing I have been experiencing... Getting progressively worse over the last 2 years making it difficult to function at a high level.
