I had a mri for seizures, it came back with "small area of old infract to the left inferior cerebellum" on the report it say mrI with contast should be done.

Im only 25 but from what I understand this is a stroke. My neurologist says he waswants to wait fir my follow up to discuss the mri with contrast because they don't actually know if that's what it is and it could be a shadow. Does anyone have any experience or advice to share?

Yes, my advice is to listen to your doctor, have the MRI and don't cause yourself unnecessary anxiety. Hope you get good results

I'm sorry but I'm not a doctor and can't answer that. I would think that it isn't too long to wait if your doctor doesn't think it is.

Every time I've had an mri with a finding, it had to be redone because the image wasn't clear enough so it was inconclusive. The 2nd normally came up negative. Hope that's the case with you, and that you get relieved.

Do you have symptoms that could be attributed from a stroke? If you did, i'd think they'd want to see you sooner.
