----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MRI Scan for TSE T1 & T2 Wt.images of the Axial sections with out IV contrast

The report shows:
- Signals from orbits normal,bilaterally no masses
-Signals from brain system & Cerebellem are normal
-ventricular system dilated
-sulci,sylvial fussures & cisternal spaces are widened .Prominent subarachroid spaces in the bilateral temporal and frontal regions
- bilateral periventricular white matter shows hyperintensity on T2 in the parieto-occipital regions
-suspicuious focal cortical dysplasia in the rt.fronto-pariental region
- no midline shift
- no e/0 bony pathology fractures
Impression:
1) mild cerebral atrophy
2) periventricular leukomalacia with ? focal cortical dysplasia in the Rt.Fronto parietal region

Resolved Question: Dementia and do I have it?

Ex vacuo dilatation of the ventricular system is noted. Global cerebral atrophy with prominence of sulci is appreciated. The gray/white matter differentiation is maintained. The basilar cisterns are preserved. The bony calvarium is unremarkable. Post contrast images demonstrate no foci of abnormal enhancement. >> full story


Resolved Question: Can someone define these 8 health problems?

i have regular headache problem and that is why i have done MRI of brain and below is the report..pls advise!

IMPRESSION
1. Mild diffuse cerebral atrophy
2. multiple small foci of hyperintense signal on T2W and FLAIR images in bilateral frontal and parietal subcortical and deep white matter, These are non specific, possibly small vessel ischemic changes.
3.Left ethmoidonasal polyp
4. Abnormal mucosal thickening in bilateral mixiallary, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. >> full story

Resolved Question: What does "Cerebral Cortical Atrophy" mean?

My brother was in an accident and he had a head injury and concussion. They sent him for a scan and he has obtained this report to take to another doctor, We read it and it says "cerebral cortical atrophy". The doctors never mentioned that but did mention a "bleed" on his brain. What does that mean? Is it something bad? will he be ok? Is he brain damaged? He seems ok, but he's hurt. He's talking and everything. I'm scared for him. Please can you explain to us what that means and the implications? >> full story

Resolved Question: Does cerebral atrophy follow on from a stroke?Is it possible that the strokes happen back in 1996 whe?

In 1996 I had an allergic reaction and was admitted to casualty. Adrenaline was mistakenly injected into a vein in my wrist. I got a pain in the back of my head and the heart monitor alarmed. My blood pressure went to 240 over 120. I was given a heart scan, which proved to be ok. They then continued to inject the remaining adrenaline into my vein; again the heart monitor alarmed and the pain in the head returned. My blood pressure was normal before they gave me the adrenaline.

Before I left the casualty (3hrs later) I went to the toilet and found that there was blood in my urine.

After that I noticed that I was gaining fluid and my shirts were tight around my neck. I also had a dull pain in the back of my head in the same place I had felt the pain the night I was in causality.

I was diagnosed with cerebral atrophy some 4 years ago. And this year I have now been diagnosed with numerous ischemic strokes.

I had a head scan after the allergic reaction to rule out any small bleed. I was told that the scan was normal however the neurologist this year told me that the scan showed Cerebral Atrophy. >> full story
