The results of MRI in June showed that: "In a series of MRI of the brain in modes T1, T2 and PDW in the sagittal, axial planes in the white matter of frontal, parietal, occipital lobes, subcortical areas of the pons are determined by multiple foci, hyperintense on T2, PDW, size 2 – 7 mm. In cortical and subcortical regions of the frontal, parietal, temporal lobes on the right has cystic glial changes in the size 100 * 40 mm. convexital cerebrospinal fluid space expanded to 44 mm. craniovertebral junction and chiasmatic-sellar region was normal. Data for t – r cerebri is not obtained. Conclusion: The signs of focal angioentsefalopatii, cerebral atrophy, 1 degree. postinfarction cystic glial changes in the right hemisphere. "Local neurologist said that the changes in the old, and not even this year, and that the chances of recovery is not at all. Please comment on the result of MRI.
