What Does A Small Left Chronic Cerebellar Infarct On An MRI Report Suggest?
I had an mri for a few different reasons. they found a small left chronic cerebellar infarct. there is a 7.3 AP by 5,5 TV millimeter frontal parasagittal T2 hypointense lesion presumably representing a meningioma. can u explain in simple terms what this means? I am a nervous wreck. I have been diagnosed with a concussion from a beaten I took in april of this year n possible seizures and this is one of the tests I needed to take. I need answers now.

Hi,
Two significant findings need neurological evaluation. One is cerebellar infarct which is the area present at back of head and associated with balanced and coordination.
If you feel vertigo or tendency to fall may need to be evaluated for cerebellar signs and also to look for cause of ischemic stroke in past if any.
Second is presence of a space occupying lesion and suspected to be meningioma. With history of siezurres in past its of more importance to be assessed by a neurosurgeon. If causing any compression symptoms may need surgical intervention.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
