Its not significant.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

I have gone through your MRI report.The small solitary hyperintensity in left frontal white matter appears to be non-significant.These kind of hyperintensities can be observed in normal individuals as well and are not synonymous with disease.So,it should not be a cause of worry.

Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to help you in follow up.

Dr.Ajay Panwar,
