I received my MRI results today and I'm not sure what they mean. It seems like it's a guess as to what is wrong. I'm hoping someone can explain the findings.
Brain findings: Hydrocephalus, hemorrhage, midline shift, or territorial infarction. Single punctate FLAIR huperintensity in the left centrum semiovale may be related to premature microvascular change or migrain sequela. Parenchymal signal otherwise unremarkable. Orbits are normal and large vessels are patent. No lesions along callososeptal margin. No abnormal enhancement.
IAC findings: Temporal bones show symmetric signal and morphology. Posterior fossa vasculature patent. IACs and cerbellopontine angles unremarkable. A 2mm focus of punctate rounded enhancement is present in the mid right IAC on axial #13, not demonstrated on coronal imaging, possible due to phase of contrast. Seventh/eighth nerve complexes otherwise unremarkable, without other evidence of abnormal enhancement.
Impression: 2mm tiny enhancing nodule in the mid right IAC seen on a single image, possible a small vertibular schwannoma.
It seems like theres a choice between 4 possibilites in the brain findings category. Can someone please explain what this means. Thanks.
