What Does Outbreak Infratentorial In Gliotic White Matter Of Left Cerebral Hemisphere Mean?
Hello mr Doctor,
My name is Liliana and I have a question for You.
Yesterday I made IRM- 3 Tesla and here you can find the result:
Currently viewing the supratentorial white matter-multiple (~ 9) outbreaks gliotce polymorphic localized predominantly subcortical 4X9 mm maximum size in the precentral gyrus on the right. Currently viewing 1 outbreak periventricular adjacent anterior horn of the lateral ventricle as 4x4 mm. The outbreak infratentorial-in gliotic white matter of the left cerebral hemisphere 4x5 mm.
Please, tell me what this means, which may be the possible cause and if it possible to treat definitely?
I can say I never had any neurological problem.
Than you very much,
Best regards,
Liliana

Your findings indicate gliosis in white matter of brain.Gliosis is a repair mechanism in brain parenchymal injury.In your case gliosis may be sequel of ischemic brain injury.
So,you need monitoring of conditions that leads to ischemic changes like hypertension,altered lipid profile,diabetes mellitus so that further progression of disease can be halted.
You need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.
Treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
