What Does My MRI Report Signify?
Been having problems for quite a while. Had MRI done on brain. No masses. But findings are as follows. Mild chronic microvascular ischemic changes in periventricular and subcortical white matter of bilateral cerebral hemispheres. What does this mean?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Microvascular ischemic changes(decreased blood supply) in brain typically involves small blood vessels.
You need monitoring of conditions that lead to ischemic changes like hypertension,altered lipid profile,diabetes mellitus.
You need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
