A member asked:
Mri (for tinnitus) says, a few tiny punctatefoci appearing hyperintense in bilateral frontal subcortical matter.i'm 22 and a bit fat.is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not serious: For the most part up to 5 small hyper-intense signals are considered in the normal range and can occur from lots of different causes. It could be a illness as child, migraines, mild traumaor hypertension. At your age they are probably not worrisome and you now have a good baseline MRI to compare to future ones if needed.
