Hi! I am new here and have some questions. I would greatly appreciate any response as I don't know what this means...if anything! I was in the hospital last week for an Addison's disease crisis. I was having trouble speaking, memory loss, and confusion. I had a MRI of the brain without contrast. I am reading my report, and I don't know what it means. I had a TIA several years ago after open heart surgery to have a tumor removed from the right atrium of my heart. The MRI shows no acute intracranial process, but I have a question about what the report says and what it means. It says:
"The FLAIR sequence demonstrates no evidence of cerebral edema. 2mm hyperdensity within the peri ventricular white matter adjacent to the frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle." Everything else it says is normal except for some thickening of the right maxillary sinus. Is the hyperdensity anything to worry about? Does it mean I have had a previous CVA or from the TIA I had? Thanks for anything you can tell me about this.
