Minimal increased nonspecific signal in brain white matter. unremarkable mri of the brain. can this be nothing in a 26 yr old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It can be nothing. Lets take a step backwards though. There must have been a reason for getting the MRI. Migraine headache can be associated with tiny punctate white matter changes. Perhaps a bit of clinical information and a look at the scan might be in order. If you can do this I would be glad to help. www.healthtap.com/drericweisman
