I had my MRI tests done due to temporary paresthesia complaints (brain, cervical spine, and lumbarosacral spine) last December 2016. My cervical spine came our all normal; however, I have a couple of questions in regards to brain and lumbar/sacral spine ones. (1) MRI of the Brain Findings: Single 3 mm focus of mild T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the subcortical white matter of the left frontal lobe, which may reflect minimal degree of nonspecific chronic white matter change. Brain is otherwise normal in signal intensity and morphology. No mass lesion is identified. Ventricles, sulci, and cisterns are age-appropriate in size and configuration. Major intracranial flow. IMPRESSION: Single 3 mm focus of mild T2/FLAIR hyper-intensity in the subcortical white matter of the left frontal lobe, which may reflect minimal degree of nonspecific chronic white matter change. Otherwise normal unremarkable study. (2) MRI of the Lumbrosacral Findings: FINDINGS: Alignment is normal. Bone marrow is normal in signal without evidence of fracture or marrow replacing lesion. The conus is normal in appearance. T12-L1: Unremarkable. L1-2: Unremarkable. L2-3: Unremarkable. L3-4: Unremarkable. L4-5: Moderate ligamentous hypertrophic changes. Broad-based disc disease. Mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. L5-S1: Mild disc desiccation no significant central canal or neural foraminal narrowing and IMPRESSION: Minimal lower lumbar degenerative changes. What do all these mean? Do I need to worry about these despite my Neurologist told me before that my tests came out all normal. If they re all normal like he said, then how come there are some findings as such? Thank you, doctors! 38-year-old Female
