Hi ... my name is Kristen Ruth, I had an MRI and am awaiting an appointment with my Doctor, who is out of town, but in the meantime I obtained my MRI report and the impression says there is a lesion in the deep left parietal white matter which shows a minimal amount of enhancement. This pattern is atypical. This could represent a small actively demyelinating plaque from demyelinating disease. A late subacute or early chronic lacunar infarcts may also have this appearance. This could also represent very early mild ischemic white matter disease. Regardless, followup as indicated. Recommended six-month MRI with gadolinium.
I am curious as to your impression of the MRI and what this could mean? I have had severe vertigo off & on for about 17 years which usually happens about twice a year for at least a month at a time & is very debilitating. I have seen numerous ENT's & have had EPLY maneuvers & medications which don't help at all. I have severe neurological migraines & vision disturbances as well as a history of petite mal seizures as a child & some grand mal seizures as an adult. Could you shine any light on these results? I have been kind of nervous & would like to know what these findings could mean? Thank you so much... in advance!!! Oh by the way, I am 40 years old and have suffered from 5 different auto-immune diseases. I was just barely diagnosed with scleroderma & have have been diagnosed also with Edometreosis, Lichen Sclerosis, Sjogren's disease, Interstitial Cystitis.
