Hello, We did plain MRI Brain for my Mother 67 yrs old ( She is an Ashtamatic - last 25 -30 yrs and on Foracort Rotacaps - 3/Day as of now ) since she is facing moderate Balance Problem from last 5 -6 months and probabaly due to that she fell down and fractutred her left Wrist bone on March 20th. We got it operated with Steel Plate insertion there. Still we consulted ENT Specialist and then a Neurophyscian and he recommended a plain brain MRI. The Report reads as Impression
Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. The MRI results are not something to worry about. These are common findings in patients with her age and are caused by a low blood flow to the brain. Chronic hypertension can cause such lesions. The atrophy means that the brain tissue is shrinking, and this is a normal finding in elderly patients. I would recommend taking aspirins, a station for the lipids and have some physiotherapy. A support during walking would be helpful to avoid possible falling which can be dangerous at her age. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes
