What Does This MRI Report Signify?

HI, my name is Nancy, I m 69 yrs old, am somewhat active, working tartedtartedwith 2 high functioning Autistic children, parttime whch I enjoy, take some yoga classes, volunteer at the local hospital in between and belong to the city chorus. About a month ago, had one of my migraine headaches,maybe a slight headache and with the aura. Layed down and in about 10-15 min felt fine. About a few minutes later, I started to say something and for a few seconds could only say the first part of the word. Had an MRI and the final impression was SMALL REMOTE RIGHT CEREBELLAR INFARCTION IS PRESENT - LARGE INTRACRANIAL FLOW VOIDS ARE PRESENT. CONSISTENT WITH CHRONIC MICROANGIOPATHIC ISCHEMIC DISEASE. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS. I WAS TOLD BY MY DOCTORS THAT THE MRI WAS NORMAL. I M CONFUSED.

Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Your MRI report is normal for your age as microangipathic changes results from long standing diabetes, hypertension, age related atherosclerosis, smoking and high cholesterol level.
If it was in less than 50 Years it would be considered as abnormal.
Hope it helps best.
