CALLING ALL MEDFAGS

it looks like my parents fighting

>>8821037
An abnormal area of tissue kinda, like there's a lot of glial cells and not many neurons or maybe some other kind of cell possibly.
>>8821057
Also this.

it means this person is not white

>>8821070
Well you're wrong.

>>8821062
It's a six month old scan of a 22 year old male with sudden unexplained retinal degeneration. The radiologist didn't see anything out of the ordinary at the time. Over the last month the person has started developing weird nerve problems, including tingling in the hands and feet, tremor, and ringing in the ears.

Do you make anything of that?

>>8821089
Sounds and looks completely normal to me. Consider seeing a psychiatrist.

>>8821097
What part of retinal degeneration is normal?

Bumping for interest

Where can I get an MRI of my psychotic genius brain?

OP here. What I'm getting at is, does the white splotch look like it could be consistent with multiple sclerosis? If not, then what is it?

>>8821089
>brain doctor asking for diagnoses on 4chan

Remind me not to visit your practice.

>>8821244

>look like it could be consistent with multiple sclerosis

what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>8821251
>>8821254
I'm not a doctor, which is why I'm asking for advice.

>>8821259
you have any idea how many things can go wrong with tissue? any inkling of the vast number of causes for an image like that?

go see another doctor. get the opinion of professionals, not people on 4chan you fucking dipshit

>>8821254
wow what an asshole

Looks like enlarged perivascular spaces

>>8821254
Prion disease might be an indicator.
Malfolded proteins must be eliminated. They are like a cancer but slower spreading.

Might I suggest either brain surgery or blasting the buggers with a proton beam?

>>8821037
Either way an EMS or X-Ray is poor in comparison to a colour cat scan. You must get in close to see this disease.

>>8821037
Isn't that close to the side ventricular system?

AIDS can in rare cases cause major bacterial problems here leading to degeneration. Memory recall gets harder until impossible. One colleague got this and he reached the point where he could not find his way home.

>>8821268
Yeah, it does look like that.

Are these benign?

Sounds like mulitple sclerosis (multiple neurologic complaints separated in time and space) which leads me to believe thats a plaque. sucks 2 b u.

>>8821428
this is wrong you can only see prion disease on tissue biopsy

>>8821434
its an mri brainlet

>>8821461
no

The etiology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is unknown. Existing epidemiologic data suggests that MS can be an infectious disease. MS used to be classified as one of the 'slow infections'--many of these are caused by prions. Prions are small, proteinaceous, infectious particles--distinguished from viruses by the absence of intrinsic nucleic acids. In a contrast to the 'classic' prional diseases (Kuru, Scrapie or Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease) that in CNS affect primarily neurons, the 'target' cell in MS is an oligodendrocyte. This may explain differences in disease presentation. This paper presents a pathophysiological model of MS based on the assumption that MS is a prional disease. Processes leading to the demyelination in Multiple Sclerosis seem also to involve lymphocytes, astrocytes and macrophages as well as the interferon system.

Also havr you ever seen a brain on Kuru?
Shit looks like a fucking sponge.

Meh, that's still an improvement over
>lol ur going blind and we don't know why and we're not going to check or try to treat you
There's some pretty good biologics coming out too.

>>8821037
So I take it it wasn't lung cancer huh hypocondriac anon?

>22 year old male with sudden unexplained retinal degeneration.


without more to go on there is no point in discussing this.

For diagnostic purposes we need to know a whole lot more about a patient than hes 22

virchow-robin spaces, benign

Screen looks like a parasite. Symptoms of one too. alternatively could also be a brain clot. the white region means there isn't much blood going there.

>>8821037
That's not what cancer looks like. MS is the only thing I could think of, but it's probably nothing honestly. That's just called visual snow and tinnitus which is pretty common. I've had it for my entire life and have had MRIs and a CT before that showed no abnormalities at any point.

>>8822245
>I NEED MY VICODIN

Give it to him, that was the moral of the story

>>8822260
>That's just called visual snow
No, there are physical changes in my retina. Something is attacking the Muller cells causing degeneration.

>>8821906
Relative to people on a shitty western diet and lifestyle that damages blood vessels and produces atherosclerosis in children yes

>>8822538
So not desireable, but not bad either?
