Hi, I m 42 years of age and had what appears to be a single seizure. Blood work normal, ct scan normal and eeg normal. My MRI with and without contrast appears normal as we ll....although there was a single punctate area of increased t2 signal intensity involving the right frontal subcortical white matter of unclear significance. Should I be concerned with this MRI finding???

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about your single seizure or the MRI brain finding.

Single area of increased T2W signal on mRI is not suggestive of any serious disease, and is most commonly seen with migraine.

Also, this finding is not related to your recent seizure.

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,
