significant T2 signal hyperintensity within the pons and brainstem. These
findings may be secondary to early manifestations of chronic small vessel
ischemia and brainstem ischemic gliosis. Demyelinating disease and other
etiologies are also considerations, in the appropriate clinical setting.

Thank you in advance
