A member asked:
What is focal region of increased t2 signal centrally within the pons, without restricted diffusion, that could reflect chronic ischemic change? im 22 years old and developed seizures in 2021?

Since it is not possible to review your images on this site, we cannot be precise, but one possible answer is indeed a stroke. Whether this relates to the underlying cause of your epilepsy is unclear, but should be further discussed with a neurologist.

It is possible that this finding is consistent with a stroke in the brainstem. It may or may not be a "culprit lesion" regarding your history of epilepsy. Hopefully you are following with a board certified neurologist regarding your case. Not covered here is electroencephalography results, need for and use of anticonvulsants, driving status, need for blood thinners just to name a few
