Hello,
This finding on MRI is non-specific. It wont cause much damage.
But you have to be careful with the bipolar disorder. Childhood onset bipolar disorder is difficult to manage and can relapse frequently. The doses of mood stabilizer required might higher than that those required for adult bipolar disorder.
Thanks.
