Resolved question:
Recently I have noticed a lump on my anus about the size of a pea. It has no discolouration to it and is relatively painless but aches lying down or if pressure is applied. I am still passing stools (which are painless) and there has been no bleeding. Before the lump popped up the aching was present for about a week or more.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com.
I have noted the MRI brain findings, which show features of brain swelling (edema) mainly involving the back of brain. The exact diagnosis depends on the patient's symptoms.
Please provide the symptoms the patient is facing and for what duration.
Best wishes,

She don't had any major symptoms. As a follow up checkup., we had ct brain and ask to check Mri and found this. Can you please tell me is this really to worry for and what needs to be done to overcome? Is this coz of immunosuppressive medications that she having for kidney transplant. What precaution needs to be done now?
Hello,
Thankyou for your follow up.
There is no need to worry about these findings, as patient is well and there are no symptoms.
Yes, these MRI changes could be related to immunosuppressive medications or transient increase in blood pressure. This condition is called as PRES (posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome) and improves on own in most people. No specific medications are needed for this condition.
