What Does Brain MRI Mean?
I had Brain/Orbit MRI, what does this mean?
"Questionable focus in the left suprasellar fossa adjacent to the inferior surface of the optic chiasm and pre-chiasmal optic nerve encroaching upon the middle infundibulum without mass effect. This is only suggested on thin-cut coronal T1 weighted images and demonstrates increased signal intensity before administration of gadolinium. This is not specific in appearance. Additional imaging is recommended.
Mild mass effect on the inferior surface of the left optic chiasm and pre- chiasmal optic nerve cannot be excluded."

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
There is a small region in the area between and behind the eyes where there is a suspicious structural anomaly which is too small and not characteristic of any specific condition. It can be due to a variation in the normal structure which may need a better imaging protocol. This needs to be discusse keeping in mind your symptoms and after doing a complete neurological and ophthalmological examination.
