A member asked:
Enlarged perivascular spaces on mri. what does it mean? and why would the radiologist report something like that?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Part of their job: Radiologist would report anything that is not considered normal. More importantly, you should talk to the doctor ordering the test to see if your symptoms match the abnormality seen on the images. In most cases, many variations of the normal are just that, variations without any significant pathology. feel gokd

Perivascular space: I am sure the radiologist in conclusion may have not related this to any disease.
