What Does Solitary White Matter Hyperintensity In Frontal Lobe Mean?
I had an MRI and now I need a follow up one for a Solitary white matter hyperintensity in the left frontal lobe and no one has really explained what this means to me. I had originally had the MRI because I was/am having vision changes that caused blurred vision
Solitary white matter hyper intensity in left frontal lobe is non significant.It may be due to many reasons like ischemic changes etc.If it is more than five in number then it is considered as significant. White matter ischemic changes(decreased blood supply)typically involves small blood vessels. You need monitoring of conditions that leads to ischemic changes like hypertension,altered lipid profile,diabetes mellitus. You need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen. If there is any more physical problems then it should be treated. Hope i have answered your query.
