MRI Results

Are a small number of small white foci on the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain anything to really be concerned about?
My doctor is supposed to be scheduling me an appointment with a Neurologist, but most of what I read says small white matter is incredibly common on an MRI.
It could also be MS which I don't really feel like I have given other peoples' experiences with it.

better to see Neurologist than Oncologist.

Sounds like you have been getting facials....
Seriously, hope all is ok.

Well there's no mass in my brain per the MRI. I'm just waiting on the appointment getting scheduled. It has been a little over a week so I will probably call them tomorrow.

You have definitely come to the right place

How did old are you? Sometimes, it could be bad blood flow to the brain or MS or advanced aging.

These new MRIs pick up every little thing. Also lots of Radiologists report not only every thing they see but also things that they could not completely and totally rule out given the location of the imaging.
MRI showed I had likely variant anatomy vs cannot being able to COMPLETELY exclude tectal glioma in my midbrain( I started getting headaches so Dr. prescribed MRI). Of course that freaked me the frick out but neuro said it looked like a crazy overcall to cover the radiologist’s arse. Lot of hospital doctors told me that radiologist has never met a diagnosis he couldn’t exclude.
I’d bet you’re going to be just fine and my advice would be to not go down the rabbit hole of googling shite. It’s going to be way worse than anything the doctor likely tells you.

How old are you? Can be kinda normal if over 60 or so
Posted on 7/5/18 at 4:46 pm to BulldogXero
Ah just saw the 28
Yeah see a neurologist, might be MS
Dead serious AIDS can also do that.

With some of the brain surgeons we have on this board, you have come to the right place for answers.

Considering I know of a case where a Dr. came like 2am after a callout on a in patient, got the night rad tech to give him a 1 view cxr due to a cold, he read own xray and had tech delete it (nothing is ever truly deleted from pacs xray btw, merely stored in another area of the system). Several years later Dr. died of cancer, widow sued hospital for radiologist not reading xray and detecting the cancer...of the colon on a cxr.
