The report impressions list as below, please explain me what does that mean Diffuse hyperintense signals noticed in periventricular region Mild prominence of third and lateral ventricles seen. No evidence of neuronal migrational error noted.
HelloDiffuse hyperintense signals in periventricular region generally suggests ischemic changes. It may be related to perinatal hypoxia. It is important to know birth history.However, other causes may be declination etc. She may need to follow up MRI. It is important to see progression of lesions. She may need conservative treatment for above findings. Lateral and third ventricle are also mildly prominent. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
