Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The findings of the MRI brain scan are not of serious concern (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

There is a mild cerebral atrophy changes and slightly prominent lateral ventricles.

A curvilinear T1 flair hyperintensity in the left frontal convexity is likely dural vessels and not significant.

The MRI brain angiography is showing a hypoplastic A1 segment of the right anterior cerebral artery and a likely hypoplastic left posterior communicating artery.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The area in the picture you have shared (attachment removed to protect patient identity) is the finding mentioned as a curvilinear T1 flair hyperintensity in the previous reply. It is a curvilinear structure and showing a small rounded loop in the attached image. This looks to me like a vessel. It might help to do a contrast scan or a CT brain scan to know how it appears on other images and to confirm it is a vessel.

There are no findings of multiple sclerosis in the images. There are a few small T2 flair white matter hyperintense foci and are small vessel ischemic changes. These may be visualized in many people of your age.

These can cause a mild headache, loss of concentration and temporary memory related problems but are not serious concerns. There are no features of cranial hyperostosis.
