Need Advice On MRI Test Results.
I had a MRI done on my head because i have been having blurred vision, dizziness and fainting. Got the results back today and it says something about gliosis and sell. I don't know what that is. But the test also said it could from the chemotheraphy i had. Then the test said normal.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It is important to know what problems you had earlier and the why chemotherapy was given to you. The term gliosis is an area of brain degeneration by scar formation and healing. It needs to be clarified if you had any intracranial malignancy. If it is only gliosis then there is no active disease in the brain and the dizziness and blurring of vision might be due to some other reason which needs further investigations.
