A member asked:
I had an mri. the impression on the report said minimal area of gliosis within the right insular cortex. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gliosis: Is rather non-specific brain inflammation, encountered in a multitude of neurologic conditions from post trauma scarring to multiple sclerosis or neurodegenerative disease. Your best resource will be your neurologist in trying to connect your actual symptoms/ the reason for the test with the MRI findings in trying to assign it to one of the above mentioned conditions.
