What Could Cause Cystic Gliosis On The Right Frontal Lobe?
Hi, I have just had an MRI done and it reflects cystic gliosis on the right frontal lobe. The scan reveals a portion of the lobe that is missing or a hole in the lobe, the doc says iy should have occurred from a head injury from an accident or blow to the head, perhaps even have caused a bleed on the brain however, I had no accidents, no falls or any head bashings since I was born. I am 40yrs old. Is there anything else that could be the cause of it ? Thanks Megan

Hello dear
Cystic gliosis usuallyrics is loss of some brain parenchyma with secondary csf filled space. This occurs secondary to head trauma, small infarct, some congenital malformations .
At age 40 if it's present without head injury you should get your blood pressure and blood sugar checked.
Best would be to consult a neurologist with all your records.
Nothing to worry, most of the times it is of no significance and do not progress
Hope you recover early
God bless you
