What Does The MRI Scan With Confluent T2 Hyperintense Foci Indicate?
last week my mother had gone though the MRI brain and the report says:- Discrete and confluent T2 hyperintense foci are seen in bilateral cerebral, suggesting ischaemic changes.. [2] Isolated tiny FLAIR hyperintensity is seen in the right cerebellar hemisphere [3] Age related ventricular and cerebral sulcal prominence is seen. I would like to request if you can guide us. As she was suffering from buzzing sound in her left ear so the dr suggested for audeoment test and MRI brain, the report which I receive i have mentioned that in the above. waiting for your advise.

My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah & I have gone through your query.
Well hyperintense foci seen in MRI brain in T2 images are usually seen in normal aging but also in a number of neurological disorders or psychiatric illnesses.For example deep white matter hyperintensites are 2.0 to 3 times more likely to occur in bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder than normal persons.
As the scenario mentioned above it suggests the hyperintense lesion showing on your mother's MRI Brain most strongly suggests brain parenchyma ischemia, micro-hemorrhages, gliosis, damage to small blood vessel walls and breaches of the barrier between the barrier of cerebrospinal fluid and the brain, or loss and deformation of the myelin sheath. I would like you to suggest you should take to your mother for neurologist checkup so that the underlying cause can be found and treated accordingly on time.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
