Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The following things can be inferred based on the MRI report you have furnished.
1. There is evidence of moderate sinus infection in the right maxillary sinus.
2. Brain parenchyma shows mild atrophy, but this needs to be clinically correlated.
3. Ischaemic changes are noted on several parts of the brain, and this finding also needs to be clinically correlated.
Kindly consult ENT specialist for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
