Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

According to MRI (Brain) report,there are less than five punctuate high flair signal foci in the left frontal lobe,periventiruclar white matter,left basal ganglia and left internal capsule.
It can be ignored as these are less than five in number.It may be due to ischemic changes.
If it is more than five then it should be the cause of concern and need to be investigated.
At present you need routine hemogram,RBS,Lipid profile,LFT,RFT,ECG in all leads and screening for hypertension.
Other findings are within normal limit.
Hope you have understand the terms.

Take Care
