A member asked:
Mri report says: few tiny abnormal signal foci fronto-parietal subcortical region are seen which might have ischemic origin. what does it mean? thanx
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These are common : Small white matter lesions, such as yours are one of the most common findings on brain mris in people over age 50 and usually indicate changes related to areas of silent ischemia or that are related to narrowing atherosclerosis of the small arteries that perforate the brain's white matter or deep grey matter, called the "basal ganglia". Many other less common causes such as migraine headache.
