Avatar n tn White spots appearing on an MRI scan for an 18 year old, with severe stomach problems.
Avatar n tn 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.
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 also have had bad headaches (migraines) and white spots were found on a ct scan and then later on a follow up mri. My neurologist said they were from the migraines. I have my doubts but at this point I haved no other answers. I have always received some relief using imitrex for my headaches.But when they got worse I used Topamax which helped alot, just research because of some side effects that could be serious. Prayer also was the biggest help.
Avatar f tn My daughter has suffered many years with very bad migraine, however a few weeks ago something changed and the headaches became unbearable, she felt like small explosions were going off in her head. The doctor referred her to a neurologist after a MRI showed up lots of white spots on her brain.

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 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 ?
Avatar m tn I had the MRI and have looked at the CD and I see a few white spots on the brain on the sides top and back of head. My next appointment with the doctor is this Friday. Are white spots on the brain really serious? I'm not really worried but my wife is.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know what would cause the white spots on my mri, and how are the white spots from ms different?

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 f tn 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.
Avatar m tn This is the MRI scan There are numerous T2 and FLAIR hyperintense foci seen in the right periventricular white matter, both cerebral hemispheres white matter more to the right side, corpus callosum and in the left middle cerebellar peduncle, the one in the right periventricular white matter shoes perpendicular orientation to the callososeptal interface, compared to the old MRI (was taken about a year ago), the left cerebral peduncle lesion is more obvious on this exam, no significant interval c
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!
4734280 tn?1358523683 They are more concerned right now with the spot that lit up with the contrast on my mri, than the white spots to start out with. It just make me really mad that I have been telling the dr for years about these headaches and dizziness. I recently started to see a new dr. and that's the first thing they did was send me for an mri. She said I should have had an mri along time ago.
Avatar n tn numerous white spots on the brain, T1 in neck has vascular hamangeoma, a couple of bulging disks and a headache that takes over the left side of myhead into my eyes and ear. I have a bump on the left side of my head that does not show in an xray. I have pain in my jaw and popping in my ear and under my eyes.

Avatar n tn My mother went into the emergency room because she was dizzy and could not see straight. They did an MRI and told her she had a brain aneurysm. She had to be air lifted out of state. They are suppose to do surgery. My aunt over heard the doctors talking about white spots on her MRI. Is this "whit spot" the anuerysm or is it something else on top of that?
Avatar m tn I had a brain MRI done and they found a lesion on my brain. I have seen a neurologist and had a spinal tap done. The neurologist said all levels were normal and we also did a CTA scan of the brain and he said that was normal. I have not had any symptoms of MS and now I am left wondering WTF is this spot and what could have caused it?....The neurologist said if I develop any symptoms we can look at it again or maybe I should do another spinal tap done in a year.
Avatar n tn m a 44 year old white female and have had a lot of chronic muscle/joint pain with ongoing hand and feet cramps. I recently had a MRI of the brain and the results were as follows: CHRONIC MICROVASCULAR ISCHEMIC CHANGES, WITH SINGLE NONSPECIFIC T2/FLAIR SIGNAL ABNORMALITY IN THE CENTRUM SEMIOVALE OF THE RIGHT FRONTAL LOBE. FLUID IN THE RIGHT MASTOID AIR CELLS. I don't understand what any of this means, so I would be so very thankful for helping me better understand.
Avatar n tn Just had an MRI of brain and neorologist wont get back with me on the results. Heres a break down of what they read.... moderate amount of white matter signal abnormalty. Bilateral subcortical and deep areas signal abnormaity, these areas demonstrate increased T2 and Flair pulse sequence. ......Cerebellar tonsils lie at the level of the foramen magnum. its been almost 2 weeks and doc still hasnt called to explain..
Avatar f tn Hello, My husband had an mri done back in August, because he was dizzy allot and his vision was weird, well in the MRI they found white spots in his brain, which they have linked to a hole in his heart. Which we have delt with that and he's going to have sergery to have that fixed, but now we're being told that the white spots on his brain are brain damage and could be maybe MS, how are white spots on his brain linked to MS, I thought that was a muscular disease???
