JI've had migraines but maybe only 1-4 a year. I was having some numbness and tingling a couple of years old patientago with my migraines. My primary sent me to a neurologist. He ordered a mri. An 8mm lesion was found on my left cerebellum. An mri with contrast was done and nothing enhanced. my neurologist said highly unlikely it is a tumor. Did not contrast nor did it look anything characteristic of a tumor. I have not had any symptoms in 5 years. No numbness or tingling. What are the other possible options? Could it be a harmless lesion ...is that even possible? Could it be a tumor even though I haven't had any symptoms in 5 years?Radiology report reads...9mm white matter lesion shows no contrast enhancement. No mass effect of edema. No other lesions seen. Could represent dymelination process such as multiple sclerosis, inflammation, infection or least likely nonenhancing neoplastic process.
Other than the occasional migraine in the last 5 years old patientI have had no symptoms. I had no seizures no consistent headaches or pressure. Could this be a tumor? Or is it unlikely without symptoms after 5 years? What else could it be?
