A member asked:
Got mri with cella contrast done report says two tiny focal flair hyperintensities are noted in high parietal region - probably related to ischemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bright spots in WM: 1-2 tiny bright spots in brain may be a non specific finding. This can be attributed to various causes such as damage to nerve cells or ischemia or other similar causes. Significance of these in real life situation is not clear at this time. If they are large, multiple or in certain delicate areas of brain and patient has neurological findings - they are significant.
