What Are The Findings From The Brain MRI Report?
Dear Doctor;
Could you please explain to me the following MRI brain results in plain understandable English please.
Is this condition is a big health issue??
I had a brain MRI before and found mild generalised atrophy ; are we talking about the same finding in this mri report.
==========================================================
Clinical notes: Chronic Headaches
Findings: Generalised prominence of venticular system greater than expected for pateints age and disproportionate to the degree of sulcal prominence. No interventicular obstructing lesion identified.Normal pitutary with no superior convexity to corpus callosum. Findings : However , raise a possibility for communication hydrocephalus. No mass diffusion restriction or extra -axial collection. Major intracranial flow voids are preserved.
Comments : Generalised dilation of venticular system raises the possibility for communicating hydrocephalus. No other significant findings.
Thank you very Much
Warm Regards
Jay

Hi Mr Jay,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted the findings of your MRI brain.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that the MRI findings are not of concern and there is no need to worry about it.
Yes, these findings are suggestive of mild cerebral atrophy (similar to the findings of your previous MRI). In any case, what was the reason for doing the current MRI? This information is important to establish the significance of the MRI findings.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
