What does it mean on MRI when it says imaging of brain demonstrates several punctate FLAIR and T2 hyperintensities within the deep white matter. These are non specific. The ventricles are midline. No abnormal extra axial fluid collections are present. There is normal caliber of the intranial flow voids. No cerebellopontine angle mass is present. There is approximately 2mm of cerebellar ectopia. Pituitary gland is within normal limits. Mild mucosal thickening is present within the ethmoid air cells. Orbits, scalp, and skull within normal limits.
Hello, Nonspecific white matter hyperintensities on MRI are a common feature of small arteries' disease. The main condition that can cause them is unstable or high blood pressure. Correct control of blood pressure is necessary to stop their progression. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
