A member asked:
Father of 52 mri report's " infovour of tiny infarcts within frontal lober of both cerebral hemispheres' is it serious and treatment ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Specialist: Well- it's not life threatening- if that is what you are asking. However it can cause progressive dementia and severe headaches. A good neurologist should help. Also need to find out where these infarcts coming from---- is your heart sending out emboli? Is their defect in blood? Or is their local trauma?
