I have the results for the brain MRI (taken 6/8/10) and need some translation. I'm coping the following from the report itself.........and I'm not buying its migraines causing all these problems
MRI of the brain
clinical data: multihance 14 cc IV
Technique: the following imaging sequences were obtained:
FLAIR BLADE Sagittal 3
T1 Sagittal 2
T2 BLADE Axial 3
FLAIR BLADE Axial 3
T1 Axial 3
DWI Axial 5
T1 Axial 3 post-gadollinium, mag transfer
T1 Coronal 3 post-gadollinium, fat sat
T1 Axial 3 post-gadollinium, fat sat
FINDING: There is no evidence of intracraial mass effect or midline shift. The ventricles, sulci, cisterns and fissures are all normal in size, position, and configuration. Gray/white matter differentiation is normal. A few nonspecific foci of white matter hyperintensity are demonstrated in the supratentorial white matter tracts, a couple evident in the posterior left frontal lobe, arguably one or two also on the right. Findings nonspecific. Post-migraine, post-vasculitic sequela, minimal small vessel disease, post-inflammatory or infectious sequela and multiple sclerosis all in the differential. The typical central subependymal striations characteristics of MS, however, are not identified. Again, no enhancing intracranial lesions are present. No foci of acute diffusion restriction are present indicative of acute ischemic change. Regions of the mastoid air cells and sinuses are unremarkable in appearance.
IMPRESSION: A few nonspecific supratentorial punctate foci of white matter T2 prolongation without mass effect of enhancement. nonspecific appearance, please refer to discussion above. otherwise negative intracranial MRI examination
