Head Pain With Skin Sensitivity And Pressure In Temple Area. What Does MRI Report Suggest?
I had an MRI done and the report says I have chronic white mater microischmic gliosis and also bilateral maxillary and right mastoidal air cell disease. Can you explain these to me. I am 66 years old and have polycystic kidney disease and nodules on my thyroid. I have been experiencing pain in left side of head with sensitivity to the skin and pressure in the temple area.
I have noted your symptoms and MRI report of your brain. First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about the MRI abnormalities.
They represent small areas of ischemia- lack of blood supply to the brain.
The underlying reason could be migraine- the commonest cause of these MRI changes.

Head Pain With Skin Sensitivity And Pressure In Temple Area. What Does MRI Report Suggest?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and MRI report of your brain. First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about the MRI abnormalities. They represent small areas of ischemia- lack of blood supply to the brain. The underlying reason could be migraine- the commonest cause of these MRI changes. High blood pressure could also predispose to these changes on MRI brain. As of now, you could take anti-migraine treatment, and control your BP. I hope it helps.
