flair
weighted axial with 1 sagittal and 2 coronal images were obtained
few bilateral basal ganglia small lacunar infarcts
multiple scattered foci of high 2 and flair signal intensity mainly periventricular and centrum semiovale suggestive small vessel ischemia
the CSF spaces are prominent is size , but appropriate for age
No, other intracerebral focal lesion could be seen.
the midline structures are centrally located.
the sella turcica and pituitary gland look within normal, the parasellar structures are unremarkable.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to reports,
Patient is having lacunar(small) infarcts in bilateral basal ganglia. Infarcts are due to decreased blood supply in the region.
There are also scattered areas of high intensity in periventricular region and centrum semiovale,it may also be due to ischemic changes and small vessels are involved.
There are also atrophic changes in brain. This is indicated by prominent CSF spaces. This is normal as compared to age.
Rest of the findings are normal.
Get well soon.
Take Care
