What Does This MRI Report Of Brain Indicate?
HI, i just hada MRI . THIS IS WHAT THE RESULTS SAY .SEVERAL PUNCTATE FOCI OF T2/FLAIR SIGNAL ALTERATION ARE SCATTERED AT THE BILATERAL PREVENTRICULAR AND SUBCORTICAL WHITE MATTER, which are non-specific and probably reflect minimal chrocal microvascular ischemic gliosis.

Hi,
These MRI findings are most commonly seen in people with migraine. However, conditions such as high BP, sugar or cholesterol can lead to brain ischemia (lack of blood flow to brain), which can result in similar changes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
