MRI Report
Hi doctor, Recently 4 days ago my father had a mild convulsion for about a second accompanied by urine and stool. Immediately we took him to the nearest hospital where ecg , trop-t , blood reports and CT of the brain was entirely normal. But the doctor suggested doing an MRI of the brain. Today I got the MRI report in which two impressions are mentioned
1. Focal and discrete demyelination at both frontal region
2. MILD Crotical atrophy
I have got my local doctors appointment after a week meanwhile I am very tensed actually. Please tell me what the above impression means ? Is it something very serious and can it be cured via medicine or surgery is needed ?

Focal and discrete demyelination can be nonspecific finding. Epilepsy is most of the time clinical diagnosis where EEG and MRI Brain stay non contributory
