Question 1

mri showed vascular flow void in proximal intracranial vascular. dominant left artery mildly flattens ventral cervicomedullar junction. 
eeg showed abnormality due to presence of sharply contoured waves in left frontal temporal. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Conclusion difficult: These are very sensitive findings.Call the doctor who ordered &amp; discuss with him

Question 2

i had a brain scan and the report i received said the following "basilar cisterns are present. major intracranial vascular flow voids are present. trace mucosal thickening within the paranasal sinuses, without air-fluid levels . what does mean?

Accepted Answer

: Your MRI brain scan is considered normal. Take care!

Question 3

2 (2 mm) rounded ill-defined foci of hyperintense signal abnormality on t2-weighted and flair series in the posterior right frontal subcortical white matter. major intracranial vascular flow voids identified. feel cold sensation 30secs on top head?

Accepted Answer

: Cannot correlate the "cold sensation" with your report of an apparent MRI finding.  The latter may well be nonspecific.  The images need to be over-read to provide clinical significance.  Suggest handling via a virtual consult where a thorough evaluation can be undertaken.  (www.connect@healthtap.com)

Question 4

what does it mean "normal vascular flow voids are present in the distal carotid and vertebral arteries, the
basilar artery and the proximal anterior, ?

Accepted Answer

Normal arteries: Since the blood is moving during an MRI, the inside of the blood vessels appears to be a "flow void".  This is the language used to report normal-appearing blood vessels.

Question 5

is the brain mri finding flow voids of intracranial portion of ica, basilar artery and superior sagittal sinus appear maintained with no evidence of thrombus normal? can it miss something because i have unexplained neurological symptoms still?

Accepted Answer

: Flow views? Not voids? If I could see it I could help more.

Question 6

is it safe to use benadryl (diphenhydramine) daily if you have peripheral vascular/artery disease or chronic venous insufficiency?

Accepted Answer

YES: Benedryl is a histamine blocker.  It should not cause any issues with pad or chronic venous insufficiency.

Question 7

what is intracranial vascular disease?

Accepted Answer

Brain arteries: This refers to narrowing of the arteries within the skull. This is usually the branches of the internal carotid artery within the brain.

Question 8

how are arteriovenous malformations and other vascular lesions detected?

Accepted Answer

Studies...: Angiography can detect the majority of vascular lesions; although a good number of them are detected while undergoing numerous other procedures for other things(ct scans, ultrasounds, etc.).

Question 9

arterial phase within 20seconds. does that mean that the tumor has a vascular invasion, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Ask your doctor what: The doctor who ordered the test can guide you after discussing with the radiologist.  It may not mean anything unless there is a growth/tumor.

Question 10

what type of doctor is best for intracranial vascular disease?

Accepted Answer

IR/ neuro specialty: Either a neurology interventionalist or an interventional radiologist who is trained in neuro radiology and intervention.
