[|Human|] hello following a MRI scan of my brain the report states I have a few small hyperintense foci seen in centra semiovale and in the pons likely to represent chronic ischaemic foci secondary to microangiopathy also some disc problems in my neck from C2 to C7. I am due to fly to Spain on 19th sept, Is it ok to fly?
[|AI|]  Hello I have gone through your question and understand your concern. The changes seen in the MRI are probably due to microangiopathy, while the change in the pons need more careful evaluations, including other MRI considerations, which probably your doctor did and assure you these are due to microangiopathy. Which may be caused by hypertension, which should not be considered totally benign. The changes in cervical disc may be normal to your age. It is not clear what kind of changes they are. Having said that I think there is no contraindication with flight. Wishing you good health.
