Gliosis and encephalomalacia often coexist during the early and intermediate responses to injury with gliosis waning with time. Three varieties distinguished by their color and representing different stages of the disease progress are known respectively as red yellow and white softening.

Mild gliosis is also seen posterioly in the right frontal lobeseveral areas of high signal are present.
Gliosis encephalomalacia. Encephalomalacia is the end result of liquefactive necrosis of brain parenchyma following insult usually occurring after cerebral ischaemia cerebral infection haemorrhage traumatic brain injury surgery or other insults. Encephalomalacia refers to the softening of brain matter after a stroke or a severe head trauma while Gliosis is a disease that leads to the development of astrocytes glial tissue. On T2 FLAIR images encephalomalacia is low signal and gliosis is high signal.
362017 The information you have received is wrong because encephalomalacia or gliosis is not a serious issue it is an old healed finding and it is not going to progress or going to cause any issues in the future. 11272017 Encephalomalacia is a type of serious brain damage that results in the softening or loss of brain tissue. 5142020 Gliosis means focal proliferation of glial cells following an insult.
Gliosis is the reactive response of the glial cells in the central nervous system following a trauma or injury to the brain. Areas of encephalomalacia are often surrounded by a rim of gliosis which is the proliferation or hypertrophy of glial cells in response to injury Imaging Findings Encephalomalacia and gliosis are high signal on T2-weighted images and often indistinguishable. Gliosis is a process of scarring in the central nervous system.
The temporal lobe on the other hand controls the hearing language function comprehension and naming. Encephalomalacia is the softening or loss of brain tissue after cerebral infarction cerebral ischemia infection craniocerebral trauma or other injury. Causes of encephalomalacia are often linked to inflammation or hemorrhages that are a.
The term is usually used during gross pathologic inspection to describe blurred cortical margins and decreased consistency of brain tissue after infarction. It is difficult to give an opinion without an opportunity for clinical exam. It is often surrounded by an area of gliosis which is the proliferation of glial cells in response to injury.
11232012 Encephalomalacia and Gliosis These are two completely different conditions that affect the brain. Here is a brief video case presentation discussing the MRI findings in a patient with old traumatic sequel. Encephalomalacia is the end result of liquefactive necrosis following an insult.
The frontal lobe of the brain mainly associated with long term memory verbal fluency and the ability to take decisions. The white matter of brain shows gliosis surrounding area of encephalomalacia right temporal lobe. Cerebral softening also known as encephalomalacia is a localized softening of the substance of the brain due to bleeding or inflammation.
And the headache is unlikely related to the mri finding even if there is the finding you have mentioned above the headache appears.
