Hello and welcome to HCM,
The MRI report shows an ventriculomegaly or enlarged ventricle.
Investigations need to be done to ascertain whether ventriculomegaly is due to high CSF pressure or excessive CSF production.
If no cause for ventriculomegaly is found then probably it is congenital and no treatment may be available for it.
Thanks and take care
