Re: Re: Darla- metabolic strokes

[Guest guest]

Thanks Darla, I was just curious. Chelsea has had 2 MRI's, which haven't shown much. Her 1st at 18mos showed gliosis. Her neuro told us it was hyperdensities of the white matter and indicated a benign insult to her CNS (HA!). The neuro at Shriner's said this could indicate white matter disease. Fortunatly it has not gotten worse. I recently looked up gliosis in my med dic and it said gliosis was scarring of the glial (helper cells to the neurons) cells. I was just wondering if any scarring was apparent with the lesser strokes. No one has ever been able to fully explain what this is and what it indicates.
