Just received a report of my MRI.  MRI prescribed by my moms neurosurgeon because she had a small aneurysm near her pons area, her youngest brother had a massive basilar artery aneurysm, my maternal grandmother passed away from an aortic aneurysm, and my maternal great grandmother passed away from a cerebral aneurysm.  I had febrile seizures before the age of 3.  My MRI showed minimal scattered punctate foci of T2-hyperintense signal involving the subcortical white matter of both cerebral hemispheres.  Would like to know if I should be concerned.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query.First, I would like to reassure you that your MRI report of brain does not show any serious neurological problem, and there is no need to worry. Also, in view of a strong family history of aneurysms, it is good to note that there are no aneurysms reported in your MRI brain. Scattered hyperintense signals are most often seen in cases of migraine. Other cause could be ischemia (lack of blood flow) due to high BP or sugar. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
