What does a shadow in frontal lobe on MRI suggest?
Patient: my girlfriend recently had an MRI.  We were told that she had a shadow in the white frontal lobe.  we were also told that on the MRI the technician wrote that she had bascile grangula in the white matter. What exactly is this?  We have an appointment on the 25th of this month.  Thank you Doctor: Hello,I am Dr Mittal.It is difficult to tell you what it is based on the information given.However, this is probably an infection in the white matter.A shadow means that there is some lesion- infection being a common cause in young.The granular tissue (not bascile grangula) is a type of tissue that develops in brain in certain types of infections.So based on the information, I think there may be some infection.Best of luck, Dr Mittal
