MRI reveals Flair signal intensity in brain, vascular malformation and Glioma. What do the findings imply and treatment?
Patient: Hi, I have a health concern for quite a while.I have been diagnosed with hyperprolactinemia (80) 6 months ago. I did not have any period for 3 months and before it was very irregular. I got sick two months ago (dizzy, hot flashes, headache, lightheaded, falling asleep) the MRI scan did not show a prolactimona, but there is a focal area of increased FLAIR signal intensity seen along the posterior lateral aspect of the right side of the midbrain with no associated contrast enhancement or mass effect. Differential diagnosis would include a small vascular malformation, low grade glioma or possibly a demyelinating process. I started Cabergolin two weeks ago. I also have pressure on both ears since last week. My physician has no idea what can be wrong. The  neurologist wants to do another MRI next month.What could be wrong and what could I do to get better? Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCM I think the report of MRI is nothing much in specific, it does not show any abnormality as such, I personally concentrate on clinical complains of the patients rather than the investigative reports unless when it needs to be correlate with the clinical conditions, if you do not have any symptoms then why to worry, I think nothing is wrong with you every thing seems okay because of the report of MRI you became conscious have nice day
