Question 1

what does nonspecific, subtle subcortical left frontal lobe hypodensities without significant mass mean on ct scan impression?

Accepted Answer

Nothing w/o symptoms: The impression of a CT scan means nothing unless there are symptoms or signs that warrant the scan to begin with. Why was the CT scan ordered? What symptoms did you have? The impression says that there are less dense spots in the left front part of the brain, but no mass, no tumor. The cause (&amp; significance) of the spots is unknown. Talk to the doctor who ordered the test or use HealthTap Prime.

Question 2

i recently had a ct scan of the brain and i want to know what do these findings actually mean? the findings are as follows: focus of decreased density in the sub-cortical white matter of the left frontal lobe, per-ventricular ischemic change. no mass or m

Accepted Answer

You : You should discuss this with the doctor that ordered the ct. He can help you understand the results.

Question 3

what are common symptoms of a frontal lobe tumor?

Accepted Answer

Personality changes: The frontal lobe is known to give us our personality traits. In the case of a tumor any disruption in this area of the brain changes in the person's behavior and personality may be seen. However this largely depends on the size and specific area and also the resulting destruction of the brain by that tumor.

Question 4

i understand that developmental venous anomalies rarely cause symptoms, but if/when they do, what are they for a large one- right frontal lobe?

Accepted Answer

Right frontal lobe: The frontal lobes control executive functioning (planning, multi-tasking), memory, expression of emotions, personality. The right frontal lobe also controls the motor function of the left side of the body. Importantly, developmental venous anomalies aren't usually clinically significant. See your neurologist for further discussion. http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/67/2/234.full

Question 5

does increasing dopamine in frontal lobe reduce the negative and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia?

Accepted Answer

: It is not that simple. Schizophrenia can be treated by many meds and the treating doc would be cognizant of the effect of the med on the parts of the brain

Question 6

what is the severity if i had slight bleeding on the right hemisphere on the frontal lobe and have a quarter size bruise.  no symptoms of head trauma.

Accepted Answer

By CT??: Confused about how you know you had bleeding on your frontal lobe?  By ct?  If so, why did you get the ct if no head trauma?  Really hard to answer this question without more info.  Good luck!

Question 7

i have 28 symptoms of ms. nothing shows up in my blood work. had a mri and it says single focus of altered subcortical white matter signal within the left frontal lobe. my doctor said i would have lesions. is that what the results mean?

Accepted Answer

: Based upon your post, so far, you have NO evidence of Clinically Definite MS, whatever your purported "28 symptoms of MS".  The MRI is NOT confirmatory.  Rarely, lesions are noted if an MRI of the cervical spinal cord is imaged.  Urge you obtain a second opinion from a neurologist who has extensive experience, as the false negative MS diagnosis rate is about 25-30 %!!

Question 8

minimal right periventricular white matter signal abnormality seen on flair and t2. tiny punctate focus in the subcortical white matter frontal lobe. symptoms of joint pain in hands and right leg weak?

Accepted Answer

This may be a sign: Of multiple sclerosis, circulation problem , mini strokes, consequence of uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, high lipid, aging , cigarette smoking etc.Ask your dr for an accurate diagnosis. Take care! http://www.Ehow.Com/about_5042429_definition-periventricular-white-matter-disease.Html#page=1.

Question 9

where is the frontal lobe located?

Accepted Answer

Inside the skull: The frontal lobe is located inside the skull( cranium) in the front part ( anterior cranial fossa) somewhat above the eyes. You actually have two of them-- a right frontal lobe and a left frontal lobe.

Question 10

what is frontal lobe angioma?

Accepted Answer

Normal variant: A brain angioma is also known as a developmental venous anomaly. This is a normal variant in which a vein persists from fetal development. These do not cause symptoms.  These are typically found incidentally on brain mri.
