I had a MRI of my brain w/without contrast which states some foci of nonspecific increased signal in the periventricular and subcortical white matter particularly in the region of the right frontal parietal love but to a lesser extent in the white matter of the left frontal lob and right occipital lobe. What does that mean?
Hello, Thanks for your queryFirst of all let me explain you that in Neurology Practice the interpretation of MRI should be done in a given clinical context. Only the MRI findings should not make you worried. Further the MRI findings will depend upon the age, gender and the presence /absence of other comorbid medical illness like high blood pressure, diabetes etched findings that you have described could be seen in 1. Ischemic cerebrovascular disease2. Desalinating disease3. Non-specific changes seen in the settings of migraine, Neurofibomatosis and so please donor worry much about the MRI findings only. If you have any symptoms, please discuss with a neurologist and resolve this issueHOPE THIS CLARIFIES YOUR QUERY
