I've got some meftal spas tablets at home. Is it okay to take them for kidney stone pain since my family doctor prescribed them to me before? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe.

Focal gliosis in the right posterior periventricular region indicates:

• Gliosis: Scarring or reactive change in brain tissue
• Periventricular region: Area surrounding the ventricles (fluid-filled spaces) in the brain

Possible causes:

1. Past injury or infection
2. Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
3. Demyelinating diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis)
4. Tumors or cysts

Treatment and seriousness depend on underlying cause:

1. If caused by past injury or infection, treatment might focus on managing symptoms.
2. If related to demyelinating disease or tumor, treatment may involve disease-modifying therapies or surgery.

Recommendation:

Consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for:

1. Detailed evaluation
2. Determining underlying cause
3. Developing a personalized treatment plan
