Question 1

my ct scan result shows - right frontal lobe subcortical white matter tiny chronic infarct- and mild cerebral atrophic changes.                     ?

Accepted Answer

THAT RESULT IS: Consistent with small blood vessel atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease. Very common in patients with hypertension and or diabetes, but unusual if younger than 50-60-70's.

Question 2

what's does single focus of nonspecific subcortical white matter change involving the right frontal lobe mean? had a mri checking for ms?

Accepted Answer

MRI only one tool: 33 year old female asks what single focus of nonspecific subcortical white matter change involving right frontal lobe mean while checking for MS? MS is really a Clinical Diagnosis with several supportive diagnosing tools and MRI, though important, is only one tool. Best to have one's PCP or Neurologist interpret the results as they will have more clinical insight about the person.

Question 3

what does slight posterior right frontal lobe sulcal effacement mean?

Accepted Answer

Pressure: Normal gray matter has routine bumps and dips.  If the frontal lobe seems not to have the usual presence of areas of prominence mixed with depressions (sulci), but instead is smooth, and effaced, this suggests external pressure smoothing out surface of brain, such as fluid from bleeding causing the change.  Ask the radiologist what seems to be changing the anatomy.

Question 4

what does this mean: single punctate perivascular space versus neural glial cyst in white matter of the right frontal lobe near the vertex.

Accepted Answer

Collaboration: This is a case of your neurologist or neurosurgeon would sit down with radiologist who interpreted your study. The radiologist may or may not recommend further imaging studies to shed more light on the significance of this finding while the neurologist or neurosurgeon would decide whether this lesion must be treated.

Question 5

7 yr old girl had ct scan after a seizure cause by fever and found a 0.6/0.7/0.7cm choroidal fissure cyst in right frontal lobe should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Reassurance: Most likely the cyst represents congenital variation, and had no effect upon what may have been a "febrile seizure".  Nonetheless, it would be prudent to redo the imaging in about a year to make certain than cyst does not change in size.  Your doctor can guide further followup arrangements.

Question 6

30-year-old male, not obese, no hypertension, no migraines. weakness in both legs with left leg foot drop. brisk reflexes in legs and arms, babinski sign in left foot, hoffman's sign in left hand. brain mri = 2 wm lesions right frontal lobe. ideas?

Accepted Answer

: Not feasible to be precise with the limited information presented, but anatomically, the right-sided brain lesions might explain left-sided signs.  The complexities need underlying answers, and a progressive process needs to be ruled out.  See an academic neurologist at a nearby medical school and tie all of this together.

Question 7

what is a infarct left frontal lobe?

Accepted Answer

Type of stroke: Strokes are due to either blood clot blocking a blood vessel, called an ischemic infarct, or due to bleeding, called a hemorrhagic stroke. An infarct in the left frontal lobe is due to a blood clot that has occluded or blocked one of the main vessel supplying blood to the left frontal part or lobe of the brain with symptoms involves language disturbance and right sided weakness in face/arm//leg.

Question 8

i am 62 years male.i have acute infarct in left frontal lobe. i am on clobazam + asprin + atorvastatin+levicitam.

for how long do i need to take it.

Accepted Answer

Brain infarct: You need to follow your doctors instuctions very carefully, and take medication and treatment as it is prescribed.  Get regular follow up appointments.

Question 9

please explain what does the right frontal lobe control?

Accepted Answer
