I had a stroke in January and have physically recovered well but have a short term memory loss problem. Took a neuropysch test Tues and Thurs but had a MRI in July done indicating left pontine porencephaly, 2 cm clacified posterior right parafalcine meningioma , old lucunar infarcts in the thalami. It says I have extensive FLAIR and T2 signal abnormalities within the periventricular and deep cerebral white matter . Will I need surgery or is there treatment for this?
For surgery nothing there except 2\u00a0cm calcified posterior rt parafalcine meningioma, lesion Perseid is small to be operable, but this is not the culprit for memory loss, this can grow slowly may lead to seizure, weakness in legs or urine dysfunction then it could be operated, till then continue regular monitoring of lesion. Reason for short term memory loss is vasculitis as seen in MRI Brain signal abnormality.
