Possibly: However, without knowing what it looks like, it is impossible to tell. It is likely an incidental finding, but you should speak to your physician about it.

Maybe: Some lesions or tumors found on MRI can cause dizziness. In your case it would depend on what kind of lesion was found and where it was located.
