<human>: My Mom received this diagnosis information from her MRI yesterday. Can you translate this into layman s terms for me? Thank you. Cerebrum: Numerous punctate and confluent areas of hyperintensity in the sub-cortical white matter bilateral serial hemispheres compatible with extensive microvascular gliosis. No enhancing abnormalities are noted. There is no mass effect, midline shift, or hemorrhage. Extensive chronic small vessel ischemic infarctions.
<bot>: HiT hanks for posting your query.  In simple terms your mother MRI shows multiple small blockage of the blood flow to her brain.  Due to these multiple blockages small portions of brain has been damaged.  She needs to be started on Anti platelet medication like Aspirin and Atorvastatin for further prevention of these blockages. Hope this information was useful to you. Any further clarification feels free to ask. Regards.
