Avatar f tn How do you differentiate between white spots on an MRI scan a year post injury caused by moderate traumatic brain injury and those possibly caused by arteriosclerosis?
Avatar f tn Does anyone know what would cause the white spots on my mri, and how are the white spots from ms different?
Avatar m tn The second MRI came up white white spots which was in January 2015, I was then sent for a lumbar puncture, but whatever they were looking for, it came back negative. 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.

Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar f tn 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
Avatar f tn The MRI report is almost clear. The focus of the MRI sees to be the Cerebellopontine angle. The few spots / lesions in the white matter are probably normal or clinically insignificant. Do you have any imbalance or other symptoms ?
539750 tn?1226521677 What causes black spots on your bone, as seen on a MRI? I have been having arm pain for years and finally had an x-ray and MRI. On my lunate bone I have two very black spots - my ortho doctor said he didn't know what it was. he only assured me it wasn't cancer.
Avatar n tn 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????????
1448748 tn?1312956208 I typically recommend that people not stare at their own imaging too much. You will see things that may or may not be there. On of the problems with the jpeg you posted is that we have no idea of the technique that was used. MS lesions on a T2 sequence have a tendency to look like a slightly brighter smudge than the surrounding tissue. They do not stand out as very bright.
Avatar f tn 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.
2699259 tn?1344210945 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?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn FLAiR is good for detecting new areas of inflammation (it finds wet spots better) while T2 is a scan that produces a pretty good picture. Periventricular - next to the ventricles. Subcortical - below the surface of the cortex. White matter - the fatty layer of the brain that surrounds the gray matter. High frontal - in the front.
5335577 tn?1366582921 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..
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn Hi bobbifaye - Welcome to our group. I'm neither a neurologist nor a radiologist. In fact I'm not a doctor of any kind :-) That said, lesions do appear as white spots on MRI. I'm not sure 'white spots' is a medical term though. The diagnosis of MS has many parts. The standard MS diagnostic protocol is the MacDonald Criteria.

5550900 tn?1369728085 They get worse when I go outside or look at a white screen. They move. I had an MRI of the brain WITHOUT contrast 2 weeks ago and I wanted to know if Optic Neuritis can be seen on an MRI without contrast? Do these black dots that move when my eyeball moves ever go away? I have no pain, blindness, or distopia, can it still be considered opitc neuritis? Every bit of help and precious knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
