Had brain and c-spine MRI last Friday. Dr's office called yesterday to tell me my c-spine was perfectly normal. I questioned the brain and she looked and said she did not has them. To get to the point, they called today. Everything was normal except for this:
Several small areas if increased T2 and flair signal in the periventricular and subcortical white matter are demonstrated consistent with small vessel ischemic changes.
The nurse gave me that information on the phone (as well as faxed it) and she said the doctor said, "MS has not been ruled out." I went into a full body cold sensation....a slight panic.
Last MRI in 2006 was normal and all neuro exams have alway been normal....so I was really hoping....this would be normal again.
Any thoughts?
