Aneurysm :: MRI - Nonspecific Focus Of Solitary White Matter Bright Signal Right Frontal Lobe?


Dec 12, 2013

I experience frequent migraine attacks lately. One time when the migraine attacked, I tried to sleep to somehow ease the pain. However, When I woke up at dawn I was surprised that my left eye could not see. What I just saw with my left eye was complete darkness. It lasted for 2 to 3 minutes. Thus, I decided to undergo MRI of my brain with MRA with contrast and below is the findings:

Negative for restricted diffusion. Small focus of t2 weighted and flair bright signal is noted in the right frontal lobe, gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. No abnormal parenchymal nor meningeal enhancement. No discrete mass noted. There is no evidence of discrete vascular malformation or aneurysm. Midline structures are in place. The ventricles are normal in size and configuration. The sulci and cisterns are not affected. The stellar/juxtasellar, pineal region, cerebellum-pontine angle, craniovertebral junction are unremarkable. The cerebellum and brainstem are intact. Intracranial angiography shows adequate visualization of the anterior , posterior cerebral, anterior communicating, posterior communicating, and middle cerebral arteries. There is tiny suspicious saccular outpouching in the a1 segment of the left anterior cerebral artery. No discrete aneurysm or tangle of vessels in the rest of the vessels. The rural sinuses are patent. The para nasal sinuses included nasopharyngeal and orbits and tympanum astounds are intact.

Impression:

1. Nonspecific focus of solitary white matter bright signal right frontal lobe
2. Consider tiny aneurysm in the a1 segment of the left anterior cerebral artery
3. No acute hemorrhage, infarct or mass lesion.

May I know the meaning of the above mentioned findings?

Multiple Sclerosis :: Show Up In Frontal White Matter?

I am 37 , have had strong symptoms for. Long long time and finally went to neuro.  My MRI report is available but my Neuro is not !  I wanted him to make sense of my report.  My MRI says I have one small focus in my right frontal white matter.

My question is does ms show up in front white matter?

Is a "focus" synonymous with a "lesion "?

My primary was kind enough to try to comfort me while waiting to hear from my neuro and he read my report and said it doesn't sound like MS

My symptoms have been chest pain , dizziness , extreme pain in walking sometimes barely possible, tripping , dropping things.  Seeing scotomas.   Numbness.  Weakness.   Severe fatigue.

I'm thin , 5'4" 121 pounds so I can't blame excess weight for any of it.

My vitamin D is low 18 when it should be 50 to 70.

I'm a May baby.  

Does this sound like probably not MS?

Sertraline :: Constantly Thirsty - No Matter How Much I Drink

I've noticed in the last few weeks that I am constantly thirsty no matter how much i drink. I always have a drink with me usually water but i just cannot seem to get rid of my thirst.

Someone told me that certain antidepressants can cause you to have a dry mouth and i just wondered if this is true about sertraline and what can be done about it (other than changing meds).

Vertigo / Dizziness :: Frontal Headaches And Ear Pressure

I am getting to be concerned now of my symptoms. I have a pressure feeling in my head with frontal headaches and ear pressure (left ear) and i often feel unsteady on my feet. I have been to my GP and she gave me some antibiotics and nasal spray. I have finished the antibiotics but still using the nasal spray but i don't feel any different. I went to an opticians about a month ago just to rule out anything serious and she ruled out a tumour because she said opticians can pick these up as they can tell by the pressure but i am getting worried again because i just don't feel right - my head doesn't feel clear, it always feel full and blocked. I want to ask for a scan when i next visit my GP in a couple of weeks as i can't help thinking there is something serious going on.

Aortic Aneurysm :: Death Due To Ruptured Aortic Aneurysm - Undiagnosed

My mom had been complaining of back pain for the past few months and was taking Robaxacet to fix the pain and it seemed to work ,she called it the miracle pill. Unfortunately and of me telling her to go get it checked out ,she did not and now has passed away and will be missed dearly and she was such a beautiful lady . She just turned 72 in Oct. Within 40 mins, she passed away and we found out today from the coroner that she passed away from a ruptured aortic aneurysm and he said that she went very fast and did not feel any pain and even if she was at hospital there was nothing that could have been done. I will miss her dearly and it is so painful because it is so unexpected and so sudden. I regret not pushing her more to go get her back checked out because they might have found the aneurysm and been able to fix it. I have just looked for the first time since I found out earlier exactly what it meant that she passed away from and the coroner said she would not have felt anything ,it would have just been like falling asleep and that has made me feel abit better because she was alone and I hate the thought that she died alone. I just wish she would have gotten her back checked out and then they would have found this and maybe saved her life and fixed it. She seemed to also ,for the past months have a hard time going shopping and being on her feet for to long , she would sort of burn out faster than normal and she was seeing her doctor because she was diagnosed with borderline diabetes and had 2 months to lose abit of weight and change her eating habits, she did everything she was suppose to and the doctor never picked up on this and this is something I do not understand because she had so many different bloodwork done for this and other things and is it possible that this was overlooked because I was also told that she had a lot of plaque and her cholesterol and was on medication for that. I don't understand why this was not found at all. With the high cholesterol why wouldn't a chest xray been done to make sure her heart was ok and also her aorta? If anyone has any kind of answer to my questions it would be much appreciated and comforting to know , anything about this and why it was not found. I loved her dearly ,she was my best friend ,my confidant and I will miss her so much, my life has changed drastically over this and I will never be the same person I was 3 days ago.

COPD :: Noncalcified Nodule In The Middle Lobe Of My Right Lung

I am a 49 year old woman and I have a 8mm noncalcified nodule in the middle lobe of my right lung. For some reason, it does NOT show up on an X-ray but it was found on a CT. Shouldn't it show on an x-ray also?? The ER found it by accident...they thought I had a blood clot that had travelled to my lung...nope! It's a nodule. It was found 51 weeks ago and I did have another scan 2 months after it was found and there was no change in the size. But, since I don't have health insurance, I have been unable to have another CT scan as recommended (every 3 months). My husband makes too much money for us to qualify for any financial assistance but we can't afford a pulmonologist or scan. I have been a smoker for 30 years and I do get backaches and I can't do much without getting short of breath but that doesn't mean it's cancer. My main question is why is it not showing on an X-ray...I've had 2 since they found it on a CT scan so unless it mysteriously disappeared, I don't understand. I have been checked for histoplasmosis and other things like that and they were all negative. Can anyone tell me why it's not apparent on a chest x-ray???? Thanks!!

Forget Things, Random Thoughts And Losing Focus

The reason I'm here is because every time I'm having a conversation with anybody (and even while i'm on my own) my mind keep thinking about a lot of other things, making me lose focus on what's going on in the moment and making me forget important stuff due to the fact that while I was being told these important details, my mind was just jumping to other less relevant issues.This situation has been a big problem in my life recently and I'm wondering if this is a common situation and how to treat/solve it?

Menopause :: Heavy Periods, Can't Focus, Panic Attacks And Anxiety

Not really sure where to begin...wasn't at all sure what was wrong with me until I started reading that my symptoms were connected to the menopause...Unfortunately I am experiencing the lot in some form or other...anxiety is extreme and panic attacks regular...moods are erratic..can't focus or think straight and there appears to be a sense of doom follows me around..I also suffer from severe heavy periods which take a lot out of me for 2 of the 4 wks of the month so am not in a very good place just now! I am generally NOT this type of person and am really struggling with all this but not sure where to begin

I was given HRT which I only lasted 3wks with as I began to take migraines again which I hadn't suffered from for a lot of yrs

I am really keen to try the alternative/natural route but I don't seem to be improving at all with what I am taking

If anyone hasn't lost the will to live reading this I am also being considered for hysterectomy which to me is a very viable option and would like to hear from anyone who has had the surgery and how it was for them.

Possibly Parathyroid Disease - Painful Joints, Unable To Focus, Tired, Dizzy, Tingling Legs

My blood calcium level is 10.6. So far what I've read on the Internet it looks like parathyroid disease but I'm not sure. I just tested again on calcium and the parathyroid but I won't know anything till next week and I'm going out of town tomorrow and I know I won't be able to enjoy myself like I should worrying about this. So I have all the symptoms like painful joints, unable to focus, tired, dizzy, tingling legs and feet and easily set off. But what worries me is that a year ago it was discovered I have an enlarged pituitary gland that I haven't followed up on and I've read something about that. Also I am a smoker so does anyone know if I would feel like this if its cancer. I've had issues with my neck for awhile. It was swollen a couple of years ago to where it felt like a golf ball in the back. Now it feels tight in the front. Could it be throat cancer?
