Unsure: Hi Sorry to hear you've been struggling with your health lately. We often use "slang" (unofficial medical terms) in the medical field when talking about test results but unfortunately, 'soft spot' is a little too vague. You'll have to ask your doctor directly, or you can upload your MRI results for someone on HealthTap to look at to see if we can see what they mean. Hope this helps.

Soft spot: The soft spot would be most likely the area where you had the ministroke.
