What does minimal involutional change in the cerebellum mean its suspectedWhat does it mean on a CATScan there is a tiny approximately 3mm low-density area in the medial left lentiform nucleus area. The age of this lesion in uncertain. But the doctor from ER states further evaluation can be obtained with a MRI. Should I get the MRI done?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Both the findings on the MRI brain are minor and there is no need to worry. Minimal involution changes in cerebellum can normally occur with aging.3 mm low density area in the left uniform nucleus is most likely a small old infarct (lack of blood flow). However, as the ER doctor suggested, more detailed information can be obtained with MRI of brain. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
