A member asked:
Got mri on brain: "report says single hyperintese t2 flair focus involving posterior aspect of right middle frontal gyrus." what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal Aging process: T2 hyperintensity means an area of more water than tissue. Single focus without enhancement and diffusion scan negative region can and should be ignored in any patients beyond teen age. These foci keep increasing in number when aging proceeds. These foci increase faster in people with diabetes, hypertension etc.., .
