I got an automated MyChart message about my MRI results. It had two things, one of which I don't understand, and just sent the neurologist a message about:

I got the automated report on my recent MRI. What does

"2. New opacification of the sphenoid sinus."

mean? Is this clinically relevant?


The other piece of the results was unsurprising and reassuring (given the context): the test results (briefly described) are consistent with the MS diagnosis with a "stable burden of disease."

Sphenoid Sinus @ Wikipedia if it helps.

I believe that sentence is basically "new bright spot on the MRI image at $location." Opacification refers to becoming opaque.

Collection of some sort of fluid in that spot maybe? You did say it's an MRI...


*Edit: Fixing sentence*
