Does this say I have lesions and if so how many! One in 2005 ajd 2010

2012: Can you give me your opinion please I would so appreciate it. Multiple area of abnormal increased T2 and flair signal present in the strip white matter. There is periventricular predominance and demyelinating disease is suspected. Chronic microischemia changes not totally excluded.  There is mild atrophy of the corpus callosum.  No lesions are identified in the posterior fossa.
Diffusion weighted sequences appear normal. The ventricles are normal size. No mass or midline shift. The cp angles are clear, the craniocervical junction appears unremarkable.

IMPRESSION: Nonspecific white matter signal abnormalties in the cebral hemispheres. Demyelinating disease is favored over chronic microischemia changes.

2005:Flair and T2-weighted images show several small foci of hyperintensity in the cebral white matter. These are most prominent in the peri-atrial areas. This is not a specific appearance in a patient this age, ddelineating or chronic ischemic change might be considered.

IMPRESSION: Multiple areas of T2 hyperintensity in the cerebral white matter as described.

Why can't they we understand this, we have the problem. I realize if any of you would help me with this, it would be just an opinion.  Thank you so much!

I can tell you there is a typo in the first line.  Dictator was probably using speech recognition and didn't catch the error.  It should read:

Multiple area of abnormal increased T2 and FLAIR signal present in the deep white matter.

The impression is all that really matters.  It is saying demyelinating disease is more likely the cause of of the white matter signal abnormalities in the cerebral hemispheres.
