Question 1

mri shows bi-frontal cerebral cortical volume loss & left middle ear inflammation of sinus what does all this mean? especially the volume level loss?

Accepted Answer

Mri: Sounds like you're reading a report from a study ordered by your doctor. Go and review the results with them and you will gain a better appreciation towards what the scanner saw in you and how it correlates with your problem.

Question 2

kidney ultrasound show increased cortical echogenicity (right >left) with mild loss of corticomedullary differantiation. advice: kft correlation.mean?

Accepted Answer

Correlate blood test: Increased cortical echogenicity with mild corticomedullary differentiation,  usually means medical renal disease. Kft probably means kidney function tests. These are blood tests such as serum creatinine, bun, and GFR (glomerular filtration rate).

Question 3

meaning of scattered small volume of white matter hyperintensities noted with frontal predominance. generally located in a sub cortical & deep white matter distribution. tiny hyperintensities adjacent to the frontal horns of the lateral ventricles?

Accepted Answer

: Answers to your question are stored in our HT archives but will be repeated here yet again.  The findings must be clinically correlated and in essence, are nondiagnostic and non-specific.  This could be due to migraine, smoking, recreational drugs, prior head injury, aging, demyelination, and microvascular angiopathy, to mention a few.

Question 4

mild frontal lobe predominant cortical involution what does this mri result mean? possible diagnosises? i have developed speech issues, i've have cognitive decline loss of short term memory and long term is dipping down. my iq fell lower?

Accepted Answer

: Any kind of "cortical involution" (i.e., decrease in normal mass) can affect cerebral function.  See a neurologist for guidance.
