Exclamation vascular problems in my brain/no real answers

Hi to everyone. I'm new. I recently had an mri and the doctor was vague. I seem to have problems with age related vascular system spots all over my brain. He never said what the name of this condition is but it has me very concerned. He said there is nothing to be done and nothing to worry about. However it's my brain not his. He told me I also have an anomoly in the vascular system in my brain on one side. I also had a follow up mri with contrast and an mra that showed all this
Anyone?

HI Redtail,

Welcome to NT. I hope thatyou can find some here.

Just a thought. Not saying this is similar but when my health problems first started and they were trying to understand what was going on with me, they did MRIs with and without contrast and I have some vascular spaces (what he called them) show up. He thought perhaps vasculitis but we did a repeat a year later and they were still there and no changes. The neuro asked if I had migraine headaches which I do and he chalked the vascular spaces to that.

Have you seen a neuro? If not make sure you get a copy of the report and CDs andfind a good neuro.
