Can Microvascular Ischaemic Gliosis Happen Due To Sleep Apnea?
Hello, summary of mri report indicates established microvascular ischaemic gliosis identified, most marked around the trogone of each lateral ventricle. What does this mean, and can it be treated? Note I have had untreated sleep apnea for decades, and now treated for 5 years. Could this be involved?
You are suffering from chronic microvascular ischemic changes resulting from involvement of small blood vessels. Chronic microvascular ischemic changes are due to ischemic changes resulting from blood vessels changes in diseases like hypertension,diabetes mellitus,dyslipidemia. Gliosis are also sequel of ischemic changes. So,you need monitoring of conditions that leads 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.
