Nonspecific Punctuate Focus Of Probable Chronic Microhemorrage Within The Left Superior Temporal Gyrus. What Does This Mean?
Question: What does this mean in laymen terms? What are the short and long term implications of this finding?
XXXXXXX Nonspecific punctuate focus of probable chronic microhemorrage within the left superior temporal gyrus.
Hi
Thanks for posting your query
Left Superior temporal gyrus is the part of left brain located on the left side of head just above the ear
The superior temporal gyrus contains the primary auditory cortex, which is responsible for processing sounds.
Non specific punctuate focus of probable chronic microhemorrhage means there is some bleeding microscopic which has been there for quiet some time and is not causing any issues
This could be due to hpertension and/or antiplatelet agents etc
Hope this helps
Am available for followup queries
Wishing you a healthy life ahead
