samemmycatsmom Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Just curious, what have your brain mri's shown? My report mentioned a couple of slight abnormalities and mentioned that these things are usually early manifestations of retroviral infections.....whatever that is. The two things it mentioned was prominence of the pharyngeal of probably adenoid tissue and it also mentioned mixed clivus fat.I am probably dreaming but I just wish there was some thing we all had in common that could explain our health issues.Thanks for sharing and best health wishes!

JenniferInOhio Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I had a brain mri 2 years ago. I just had (and still do) a sinus cyst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil_kt Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I had an MRI few months ago because of my headaches & mine showed i had some thinning of the brain tissue & a lower brain volume.guess that means i got small brain.haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkoven Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 My white matter has several "small white hyperintensities." The neurologist says they look like the marks of migraines. My mra showed a congenitally small right vertebral artery and several small "infundibula"-- apparently these aren't aneurysms, but slight dilations.

flop Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Mine was reported as "unremarkable", I guess that means that they did see a brain in there? Sure doesn't feel like I've always got one with this dratted brain fog!Flop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Burschman Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Flop,Yeah, it would be a lot more remarkable if they didn't find one, wouldn't it? Then they'd make a show about you and I'd watch it on the Discovery Health Channel or The Learning Channel (I don't know if you get those on your side of the Atlantic, but they have programs about goofy medical stuff all the time).Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloppyllama Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 When i had mine to check for like tumors or cysts and such, it was clear and normal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 My report said that everything was normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxine Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 MRIs from 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006 have shown small lesions. The most recent one showing lesions on the peri-ventricular area, and my neurologist spotted one on the medulla area. Two neurosurgeons said I have a prominant vertebral artery pressing on the brain stem along with congenitally small posterior fossa---(lower skull). Possible Mastoiditis was also mentioned.The radiologist wrote that I should have follow up with a neurologist for possible demyelation process, or small vessel ischemic disease. The local neurologist I saw said the lesions were probably cause by "migraines"--------- I don't suffer from migraines----never did...........Maxine :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiner Kitty Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I had normal brain MRIs in 1994 and in approximately 1998 (that one may have shown a sinus infection, but I don't have that report). An MRI with Gadolinium Contrast using a pituitary protocol in January 2001 showed mild sinus disease, and the report said the odontoid configuration was slightly unusual on the sagittal image (probably an incidental finding). I had an abnormal MRI of the brain in January 2005 (without contrast) which showed dorsal angulation of the odontoid with respect to the proximal cervical cord, and it showed non-specific periventricular deep white matter tract abnormalities/lesions adjacent to the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles (findings most pronounced on the left). The MRI report states that they could be caused by small vessel disease caused by microangiopathy or a possible demyelinating disorder. My doctors say they could be caused by brain shearing from when my car was rear-ended in 2002, my severe migraines, or multiple sclerosis (or other demyelinating disorder). Unlike Maxine, I've had severe migraines for several years, so mine actually could be caused by migraines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliegee Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 A stable pineal cyst (I've had quite a few MRI's) and lately, an enlarged pituitary- possible microadenomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
