Can Any Online Doctor Help Me With The Results Of MRI?
Hi~ I am a school nurse and looking at MRI results for a student
The results state that there are a few scattered punctate white matter hyperintensities in both cerebral hemispheres. Significance uncertain but consideration include gliosis, punctate foci of demyelination or punctate old ischemic change.
Can this affect his learning?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted the mRI abnormalities of your student.
I would like to reassure you that these abnormalities are minor and would not adversely affect the student's learning.
These findings are common in people with migraine and are not significant.
The decision to use any medications would depend upon the patient's symptoms.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
