Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding these MRI findings, I would explain that they indicate a malformation of the brain structures, present since birth, which may be the cause of the clinical situation.
Does the patient have epileptic seizures?
These types of malformations usually lead to epilepsy, which is not controlled by antiepileptic drugs.
I recommend consulting with a neurologist and a neurosurgeon, to consider the possibility of surgery if the patient has intractable seizures.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
