Few small ill defined irregular t2 flair hyperintensities subcortical white matter of bilateral frontal lobes ischemic demyelination is likely?
What treatment to be given in this case
What is Moderate cortical atrophy and scattered areas of chronic ischemic white matter changes of the brain?
'Atrophy' just means a reduction in size, due to disuse or disease. The cerebral cortex is the grey-matter (outer layer) of the brain that contains the neural cell bodies; as opposed to the white-matter which contains myelinated axons coursing away from each cell body. 'Ischaemia' refers to oxygen starvation in the brain (e.g. from stroke). Cortical atrophy due to ischaemia is therefore a reduction in the grey-matter volume due to lack of oxygen, followed by axonal pruning.
Do the pyramids consist of gray or white matter?
White matter
How do you account for difference grey matter white matter?
one's grey and one's white.....they're both matter though...
Is the gray matter deep to white matter?
no the report says normal gray white differentiation
my MRI showed "advanced diffuse involutional changes of the brain parenchyma and chronic white matter microvascular ischemic changes" what is the cause and cure?
cancer
What is Two punctate foci of T2 hyperintensity in the subcortical white matter of the lateral anterior left frontal lobe?
Can hyponatremia cause white matter suggestive of minimal chronic microvascular ischemic change. The grey-white differentiation is maintained. minimal chronic microvascular ischemic on a brain scan?
What are mild microvascular ischemic changes?
Brain atrophy is, essentially, the shrinking of the brain. This is due to the loss of brain cells. White matter ischemic changes are a product of aging. Both are seen in patients with dementia.
What is Mild chronic small vessel ischemic changes with hypoattenuation aboout the corona radiate and periventricular white matter of the brain?
Having high blood pressure can greatly increase the possibility of suffering from a stroke or heart attack. An increase of white matter on an MRI scan may help measure both risks. Ischemic changes in white matter, relative to chronic periventricular, are commonly found by examining MRI scans. Ischemic change in white matter can be attributed to diabetes, a high content of fat in the blood and high blood pressure, which all can be attributed to raising the risk of having a stroke.
What does chronic microangiopathic ischemic changes mean?
Chronic microangiopathic ischemic changes are areas of the brain that show up during radiology, usually MRIs, that depict clotted off or ruptured blood vessels. These are usually related to other serious conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.
What is T2 hyperintense?
Hyperintensities refer to areas of high intensity on particular types of magnetic resonance imaging scans of the hum an brain. These small regions of high intensity are observed on T2 weighted MRI images within cerebral white matter or subcortical gray matter.
What does prominent deep periventricular white matter changes consistent with microvascular ischemia mean on a mri of the brain mean?
Apparently some of the white matter cells around the ventricles have died due to small blood vessel inability to supply them with enough oxygen. Basically the brain's gray matter are our pools of information. The brain's white matter relays signals. These signals access and connect gray matter information to help us carry out physical and mental acts, from walking etc., to remembering stuff.

You had an MRI of the brain which showed chronic white ischemic changes What does this mean and how is it treated?
Chronic white ischemic changes, and many other similar sounding terms, all relate to the identification of abnormal hyperintense signal foci in the white matter of brain. The number, size, pattern and distribution of the anomalies, as well as the patient demographics and history all contribute to a differential diagnosis, whereby the radiologist reading the exam tries to attribute a cause to the anomalies. Often times, a certain number of anomalies are noted, which when all criteria are considered, seem to be part of the normal spectrum of findings. This is particularly true of older individuals, where it is a common finding. The lesions themselves are not cause for concern, and no treatment per se is necessary.
Is it possible for a blow to the head to cause a lacunar infarct?
A lacunar infarct affect the central portion of the brain typically due to microvascular occlusion. It is typical not related to trauma. Post traumatic infarcts are usually of the peripheral cortex and/or subcortical white matter. Basically NO.
Do the pyramids consist of gray or white matter?
White matter
