Look @ my MRI and tell me what you think?

[hexagon_sun]

I need everyone's opinion. Does it look farely obvious that something is not right in this image or is it still kind of subjective. I won't point out the problem, I'll let you figure it out. than I'll follow-up with a story.

oh gosh, you got me on the case. I'mma take a guess. let me google a bit around.

I am not a doctor and have no idea what to look for

 

[Pookah]

Not a radiologist so taking a stab in the dark, something with the front of the head? Feel like this is where's Waldo but I have no idea if there actually is a Waldo or not.

I'd like to see mine. They're shown to me as multiple superficial layers, top to bottom of the brain as your dark & light cortex images; not the sideways profile in the middle so far.

They are done to compare any changes / damage in matter since each seizure

It's not ever scanned repeatedly until another event.

I've had CAT scans and I'm unsure what the difference is, although it's probably googlable.

As an outsider of neurology, I assume the initial damage was caused by a few head smash falls at school, possibly the reason for my decades of migraines, which have led to epilepsy.

Just my opinion: the middle MRI scan looks kind of vague compared to the other MRI brain scans I found online. It doesn't seem to show your brainstem.

 

[dottie]

the frontal lobe? idk what?

 

[mikebird]

Yep

The brainstem & entire spinal cord is involved. I had lumbar punctures when I was little, because all my problems were rooted in a bad immune system and thrombocytopaenia. I got my spleen removed before age 30 because my wise neurologist suggested I might suffer deafness or blindness after some epilepsy and brain haemorrhage due to low platelets. It's nasty having a childhood of major bleeding (eg. nose) and bruising; there's no way to form a clot

I'd like to know the reason for your MRI. I thought it's entirely physical. No idea MRI can be to do with anything mental

The white area surrounds the head and down the spine. My main problems have been bleeding in the liquid between the brain and the skull bone. The scan layers are shown from the top to centre of the brain.

Sorry... I should have seen that coming. The brainstem is fine. The image above was an off-center (left & right) sagittal slice, showning the brain stem only partially. I do have a brainstem! Halaluah!

so, are we supposed to keep guessing? what is it?

the space where your brow is. looks like some brain got cut off o_0
and the dark whispyish region in the center of your brain in the profile view

Actually I was thinking the same thing. It's like there's a couple of gaps that need filling in. :thinking:

Plus if I cross my eyes while looking I can see a pony.

< Dosent have hair either:crying:

 

[BlackPuma]

I'm just amazed every time I look at a brain how much the side views remind me of turkeys and and top views remind me of popcorn.

You got me! This is actually a cross section of Curly's brain. (Three Stooges):applause::sarcastic:
