mri scan brain white spots

I'm 50yrs old just had a MRI SCAN ON THE BRAIN and it showed large white spots should I be worry

White spots appearing on an MRI scan for an 18 year old, with severe stomach problems.

Earlier this week, my wife had accidently hit her head on the snack bar of our home. This resulted in her being "knocked" unconsious for a very short amount of time. After this incident she was seen by our family doctor who had indicated if she started feeling nauseauous or if she continued to have headaches for the next week to call and she would be scheduled for an Cat Scan. During the course of the week she had several headaches that were light to mild in nature.

I finally got an MRI of my brain (that was pure tourcher btw)! Now my appt is 3 weeks away, so here I am looking over the scans and wondering. If there was something 'wrong' I assume it would be obvious? I don't see any gray or white spots or areas or large dark masses. I did see one tiny white spec, but it doesn't show on all the scans and one vein thats very squiggly looking, other then that it seems normal to me (comparing pictures of a normal scan). Any thoughts on this?

Hi about 6 years ago I had a MRI done they found white spots on my brain and told me to have another MRI 6 months later.

she went to the neurologist and took some test and during a mri test they said there is little white spots in my moms head. What could the white spots mean? what is the cause of it and how can she stop having these bad headackes????????

Can you please explain my MRI of the brain done with and without contrast please: On T2 weighted and FLAIR sequences, there are multiple subcentimeter round ovoid foci of high signal in the right frontal lobe periventricular white matter, in addition to several subcentimeter lesions in the periventricular and subcortical white matter in the left frontal lobe and the subcortical white matter in the posterior right frontal lobe.

Lupus can show as white spots in the brain. These white spots are due to subtle ischemia or due to cerebritis. Antiphospholipid syndrome will also show white areas in the brain due to thrombosis of cerebral blood vessels. Hope this helps!

i HAVE A BULDGING DISC IN MY NECK AND THE MRI SHOWED WHITE SPOTS ON MY SHOULDER IN DIFFERENT PLACES. wHAT ARE THESE?

i had a mri scan found a white spot on my right side of my brain what could it be its not ms the doc said

It is difficult to differentiate the white spots due to one disease from the white spots due to another. Patient history and other parameters are taken into consideration and co related with the MRI picture. Please discuss with your neurologist. Take care!

I then had my most recent scan on 10th June 2016 and today received a letter with my results. The letter says. The young ladys MRI brain scan has shown no changes since her preivous scan in January 2015. A few bright spots were noted in the parietal lobes and these have not changed in any way. No new bright lesions have been seen. The radiologist commented that the foci high signal in the parietal lobes may actually be developmental in origin.

my mom has 2 spots on her brain and some swelling of the brain. what could be causing this?. she hasnt had any injury to the head or anything. what else could cause the swelling and spots.

Does anyone know what would cause the white spots on my mri, and how are the white spots from ms different?

I had a MRI and CATSCAN done and the doc said they were normal, but I have 11 white spots on my brain. The headaches began following a bout with pneumonia and have been constant. To date we have failed to find the source of the headaches. What are the chaces the liesion and headaches are related.

I recently went to a doctor because I was suffering from regular headaches and had a cloud over my left eye. I had a MRI done and it showed some non specific white spots on the back of my brain. Im goiing to see an neurologist next wek, however I am seriously worried if I may have somethiNg serious..Should I be worried? Or is it related to the Mitral Valve.

m just curious what your thoughts are with these white spots on my brain MRI. I had the scan done at 9am and a NS appt at 10, which the Radiologist had already read my scans, the doctor only looked at them to see my cerebellum and post-surgery area, not MS... so I'm just looking for some insight..

If the MRI was done because you had work related injuries and no prior symptoms, the findings on the MRI may be clinically insignificant. It is normal to have T2 foci on MRI in the white matter, not in all people, though. I am sure you have taken treatment for the injury. Please wait for a few days to watch the symptoms. Do you have any other symptoms ?

Then goes on to say he agree with original findings as far as the other white spots on brain but that these were in normal limits of my age... So... Sounds like the white dots on brain are not too concerning. Would the small spot on pituitary be the cause of my problems or...???? Any info/advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
