Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Please find the MRI findings detailed below
There is a fluid containing area in the left side of brain next to the fluid containing space called lateral ventricle. It has a rounded appearance which is described as lobulated. This is causing pressure effect on the frontal lobe of brain on the left side. This is a harmless change in the brain and is called encephalomalacia meaning brain which is soft.

There is increase in fluid in the brain and this is causing increased pressure in the brain. This is called hydrocephalus.

The brain volume is decreased on the left side.

In conclusion, a complete analysis of clinical history and symptoms is required to make an accurate understanding of the MRI scan. Please do not worry.
