[|Human|] I had an MRI done and the report says I have chronic white mater microischmic gliosis and also bilateral maxillary and right mastoidal air cell disease. Can you explain these to me. I am 66 years old and have polycystic kidney disease and nodules on my thyroid. I have been experiencing pain in left side of head with sensitivity to the skin and pressure in the temple area.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and MRI report of your brain. First, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about the MRI abnormalities. They represent small areas of ischemia-lack of blood supply to the brain. The underlying reason could be migraine-the commonest cause of these MRI changes. High blood pressure could also predispose to these changes on MRI brain. As of now, you could take anti-migraine treatment, and control your BP. I hope it helps. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
