FINDINGS
There are numerous small to moderate sized focal lesions with
increased T2 and FLAIR signal intensity within the subcortical and
periventricular white matter of both cerebral hemispheres. There is a
tiny new lesion within the right centrum semiovale and an additional
new small lesion within the subcortical white matter left paramedian
frontal lobe. Multiple additional lesions appear approximately stable
over the interval relative to 11/26/2006 exam. There is a small
serpiginous curvilinear focus of increased enhancement within the
anterior paramedian left frontal lobe which is stable compared to the
prior study and 12/29/2005 exam and consistent with a small
developmental venous anomaly.
CONCLUSION
MODERATE AMOUNT OF NONSPECIFIC WHITE MATTER DISEASE WITH THE 2 SMALL FINDINGS

Hello!  I'd like to welcome you to our forum!

It sounds like you've been searching for some answers for a while, and I have a feeling we can help direct you toward them.  You've had at least 2 MRIs.  (I'm thinking about becoming a private detective!)  Can you tell us what led you to getting them done?  Were you having neurologic symptoms?  

The report does speak of lesions in the subcortical and periventricular areas.  This can be consistent with MS lesions.  Ms lesions can also be found in the frontal lobe, though not as often, I believe.  It would be a good idea for you to read Quix's Information Pages on MS lesions.  So much better than any of us can tell you.  Quix is a physician; a retired pediatrician who has done a LOT of research on all things MS for us, and who has MS herself.

What have your doctors said?  Have you seen a neurologist?  If not, you certainly should.  Please tell us more so we can get to know you better and help you some more.

Feel well!

Not much to tell you - as wobbly sez, you've got changes in your lesions, but no specific neurological disease to point to.  With an MRI that shows lesions, the next step is a lumbar puncture.

well, I'm not a Dr...from what I read...you have changes in your lesions and your Neuro will have to let you know what this means...or maybe someone else here can help out..

sorry...can't help..
