Question 1

also i got my mri results back & it said this...nonspecific single punctate focus of t2/flair hyperintense signal within the left frontal central semiovale may be secondary to demyelinating disease in appropriate clinical setting. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Neurologist: The MRI findings and symptoms are suggestive of a serious problem. You should consult a neurologist as soon as possible.

Question 2

what could a solitary tiny rounded focus (2mm max) of t2/flair hyperintense signal alteration in the subcortical location at the paracentral left frontal lobe, non specific & unlikely to be of clinical significance on an mri? the mri said normal?

Accepted Answer

Very nonspecific : These nonspecific hyperintense specs can come from many sources.  Sometimes migraines can do it.  Vascular migraines. For certain as we age these white spikes of signal can present, just to name a few.

Question 3

what could a solitary tiny rounded focus (2mm max) of t2/flair hyperintense signal alteration in the subcortical location at the paracentral left frontal lobe, non specific & unlikely to be of clinical significance on an mri? can it be brain tumour?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Though I almost never say "absolutely not"!   The description you gave that I just read, would not concern me if It were my own study.  In medicine and Radiology, we often come across many things we can't name specifically, but do not appear worrisome.  If it eases your mind, get another test in 6 months and see if there is a change.

Question 4

got mri on brain: "report says single hyperintese t2 flair focus involving posterior aspect of right middle frontal gyrus." what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Normal Aging process: T2 hyperintensity means an area of more water than tissue. Single focus without enhancement and diffusion scan negative region can and should be ignored in any patients beyond teen age. These foci keep increasing in number when aging proceeds. These foci increase faster in people with diabetes, hypertension etc.., .

Question 5

i had a brain mri .... there is a 3 llmm focus of t2/flair signalnhyperintensitynin the subcotucalvwhitev matter of the left frontal lobe  ?

Accepted Answer

normal: These t2  spots are like wrinkles.  If you are 22 and have wrinkles, something is wrong.  If you're 52.... You're 52! in fact only having 1 spot at 52 is pretty good.

Question 6

what conditions could cause an isolated nonspecific t2 / flair hyperintense focus in the left temporoparietal white matter in a 26y female w/1:320ana?

Accepted Answer

From: Migraines, to nothing important, to a small clot. In case of lupus you must have full criteria and have active disease. Coagulation issues may also be seen, see a rheumatologists and good luck!

Question 7

can small vessel ischaemic change in the brain cause pins and needles? i am a 46 year old female and a mri showed that i have several t2/flair hyperintensities in the deep white matter of the centrum semiovale and corona radiata.

Accepted Answer

Possible : Tingling is also called paresthesias. These symptoms can arise from various areas in the brain, spinal cord, nerve roots or peripheral nerves. Your neurologist should perform tests to try and localize your symptoms to the neuroanatomical location. If no better explanation exists, it is certainly possible that white matter T2 hyperintensities in the corona radiata and centrum semiovale are causal.

Question 8

i am 32, my mri said nonspecific scattered subcortical white matter t2/flair within the left frontal lobe. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Ask the ordering MD: As the findings have to be interpreted in the clinical context it was ordered, the radiologist would write his/her impression, but final interpretation is by the treating/ordering physician, best wishes

Question 9

what does the results few tiny nonenhancing t2/flair signal foci within the subcortical frontal & right temporal white matter of an mri brain scan? scan was done for numbness on left side

Accepted Answer

Non specific: This must be interpreted in light of the clinical picture. Migraine, clinically isolated syndrome, MS and normal finding ( Virchow Robin Spaces around small arteries ) are in the differential as well as vascular disease ( vasculitis) . It may have nothing to do with your numbness ( you mention pinched nerve) and there is no mention of a parietal lobe lesion or capsular lesion on the right.

Question 10

few punctate t2, flair hyperintense signal seen bilateral subcortical white matter. what this means is it a problem? my doctor said to take mri since i was having tremors and left side weakness?

Accepted Answer

: Nonspecific and non-diagnostic findings, which could be possibly correlated with migraine headaches or prior head trauma.
