Notes from Hospital

I sent off for my MRI Scans on CD, just so I can place a picture of my
brains on flickr...

When I actually get notes as well about my MRI Scan:

History:
Unusual 3D effect when reading with letters jumping out of page, ?high
visual cortex problem, for e.g. occipital AVM.
MRI Brain, MRI Orbits - There is a 5mm high signal lesion in the
periventricular deep white matter just lateral to the trigone of the
right lateral ventricle.

Two or three further very small lesions seen in the frontal deep white
matter.

Otherwise the brain substance returns a normal signal.

No evidence of a space occupying lesion or AVM. Normal appearance of the
anterior visual patheways. Normal midline structures.

The major vascular flow voids are preserved.

Conclusion:
Aforementioned small lesions are rather non-specific and may represent
small areas of demyelination or ischaemia.

The largest lesion may just affect the right optic radition.

Any thoughts on what all that means?

Anyone?

It is either by a typically ungrammatic doctor or by a schizophrenic. I
presume the former who has difficulty formulating complete sentences
when dictating.

Is there much information that could be gathered from that?

It was always concerning to me about the "demyelination" aspect,
especially when you look that up on the internet and it says MS being
the number one cause.

My problem, is that I feel Im particularly hypersensitive and it
wouldn't surprise me that my little period of vision disturbance 4 years
ago was me being hypersensitive and being the early early early onset of it.

But the doc tends to think it's quite normal what he's seen on the scan.

Just reading these notes though and its long words have reminded me
about this again.
