White spots on an MRI-scan Posted: 05-09-08 13:25pm
I would like an opinion,what I have read
is that the white spots are brain
lesions,this is the first year that these
white spots have shown up in an MRI, I
have had an MRI five times since 2000
checking for the return of the brain
tumor. I am very concerned about my health
and need answers.Any thoughts are greatly
appreciated.
You didn’t tell me the original
radiologist’s interpretation of those
“white spots” seen on the brain MRI
scan. Meningioma is usually a benign tumor
and if removed completely it should not
reoccur (recidive). You need an
expert-radiologist to interpret those
“white spots” on the brain MRI scan.
Many brain disorders (tumor, infection,
vascular insult, MS…) can be manifested
with “white spots” on the MRI-scan.
The same disorders can also cause
seizures.
You need to consult a neurologist,
neurosurgeon, and radiologist about your
problem.
