Hello,

I would like to directly review your brain MRI report in order to be able to give a more professional opinion.

As you are alcoholic, you are at high risk for a brain ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, even in the absence of head trauma.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
