Virchow Robin??? I had a stroke a little over a year ago, I was 32.  Noone knows what caused it.  Ive had MRI's, and CAT's done, blood tests and everything.  But, the last MRI I had done said that it hasnt changed much since the last MRI, which is good, I guess.  Its written in "chinese", and I cant understand it.  The report said "There are slightly prominent Virchow Robin spaces".  And it also said "Within the left external capsule, there is a 1.5-cm area of increased 12 signal intensity, this demonstrates decreased T1 signal intensity and no evidence of enhancement."  

Does anyone know what the heck that means???  I really dont want to freak out and set up an appointment with another neurologist, but, Im thinking I might have to.

Summarized question: Could anyone provide information on what does Virchow Robin spaces mean?
