My Mom's ultrasound showed "a little enlarged adrenal glands" according to the doctor, so he ordered an MRI

It could be something as simple as a hormonal disorder.  Don't worry about it, until all tests have come in and validated.  However, if you'd like to research some information on what can cause Adrenal gland enlargement, here's a web link:  http://pathologyoutlines.com/adrenal.html

this is sometimes seen on cardiac echo, and has no significance...it can make a heart look enlarged when someone does a chest xray...but its not the heart that is enlarged...it just has more fat around it than usual

It sounds to me like it IS your gall bladder. Tell your dr. to do a HIDA-SCAN. I had gone through about 4 mths of pain and test then finally a dr. said he wanted to do an ultrasound AND a hida-scan. I was fine on the ultra sound but the hida scan showed that when my gall bladder expanded it was fine but when it was supposed to contract back it didn't. It is a VERY painless procedure. They just push in some dye like an IV and run the test to make it expand then wait for 5 minutes and push in some more dye and see if it contracts like it supposed to. EASY TEST. The surgery is easy as well. Good Luck. OR it could be that you are just eating too fast.

When i first hurt my lower back, the idiot military doctors thought it was just a strain, but when i actually had a MRI done, it was reveal that i had one herniate disc and another disc that was protuded.  So i would seek medical attention, even if nothing ever comes up it.

In the healthcare professions this is known as 'student syndrome'.  The student often thinks they may have the disease being studied because 'they have all those symptoms too!"\n\nTalk to your mom.  Tell her exactly what you are saying here.  She will help you sort through it, and if needed, get you to the doctor to 'be sure' you are OK.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

Whoever gave u the report should have taken the time to explain the findings to you. Unless there is a doctor reading the questions on here, I`m afraid u r not going to get an explanation  of the MRI impressions nor should u rely on the answers u do get. By all accounts have the doctor that ordered the test, give u the meanings of all 4 impressions found. Do not rely on non-medical people for a diagnosis.

You are absolutely correct when you say that some of these tests are inaccurate.My sister who was 47 was diagnosed with gall stones and it took weeks for her to get the surgery and it was then they discovered she had 3rd stage pancreatic cancer.Do yourself a favour and get that mri sooner rather than later to ensure a correct diagnosis. Hope it all goes well.

I would suggest to her Dr. first, and see if he can get it ordered for her.  I just recently got help for my mother at home....

I had a similar problem, so I will tell you my story(hope it helps and doesn't bore you to death). This all happened after I had my daughter...I don't know if pregnancy caused it or if it was just coincidental. I first found out about my enlarged thyroid when I was sick. I went to the doctor for being sick, and she told me my thyroid was enlarged and wanted to run tests. I had felt it, but it wasn't that large at the time, so I just thought it was a swollen gland from infection. I had my thyroid levels checked, and they were normal. I went to an endocrinologist and he checked my levels again...normal. At that time, he told me that my only option was to have it removed because he couldn't treat it with medicine if my levels were fine. It wasn't very noticeable then, and I couldn't bare the thought of having my throat cut(he also told me insurance would not cover it because they would consider it 'cosmetic'). Anyway, over the course of the next 2-3 yrs, it gradually grew bigger and bigger. I had my levels checked several more times and they were always normal. I finally went to a new doctor, and she immediately referred me to a surgeon. The first time I saw him, he said it needed to come out. He said the larger it gets, the more chance there is of getting cancer in it. He measured my thyroid and my left nodule was 6cm wide. In January of last year, I had my entire thyroid removed leaving nothing but my parathyroid glands. My thyroid had grown so large that it wrapped around my esophogus and surgery lasted 6 hrs. I now take thyroid replacement hormones daily. If it does not go down, I would highly recommend seeing a specialist. The scar is barely noticeable. They make the incision so that it fits right in with the wrinkles in your neck. I hope this gave you a little insight. By the way, I was never diagnosed with anything other than a simple 'goiter'. \n\nI don't have any professional knowledge of this, but I believe that different people may possible have different ranges of what is 'normal' for their thyroid.  I find it hard to believe that I had all of the above problems, and probably some I forgot to mention, and didn't have even slightly low/high thyroid levels.  I would see another doctor, if not for the simple reason as this:  my surgeon told me that the longer the goiter sits there(and keeps growing and growing)the more likely you are to get cancer in your thyroid.  Good luck.

The word thyromegaly means your thyroid gland is larger than normal.  Inhomogenous echo means that you may have bands of fibrosis or scarring among the gland itself.  You must question your doctor until you understand what they are thinking and the implications it has for you as a patient.  This forum is the last place you should be relying on for sound advice.

So basically, your child has just been diagnosed with a neoplasm and you're thinking about suing the doctor presumably  for economic purposes. wow.\n\n////\n\nTo reply again: you're saying they misdiagnosed.  have you referred the child to another pool of doctors who drew another diagnose? is there no paraclinical evidence (cat,  rm scans, biopsing, etc) to back the original diagnosis?\n\nbasically, you're saying the neurologist drew the diagnosis out of thin air.

It is around 0.4 inches. In my opiion normally it is not a serious medical problem.\n\nCushing's disease is probably more accurately referred to as hyperadrenocorticism -- the production of too much adrenal hormone, in particular corticosteroids. It can be naturally occurring or due to over administration of corticosteroids such as prednisone (iatrogenic Cushings). The latter is easy to cure - just cut out the corticosteroid administration slowly to allow the body to return to normal function. The former is more difficult. \n\nHyperadrenocorticism occurs for two reasons --- a tumor of the adrenal gland that produces adrenal hormones or stimulation of the normal adrenal glands from the hormones that control it. The primary reason for this to occur is a pituitary gland tumor that produces excessive ACTH, which stimulates the adrenal gland to produce corticosteroids. Adrenal gland tumors account for 15% of the cases of spontaneous hyperadrenocorticism. Pituitary tumors account for 85%. Cushing's disease causes increased drinking, increased urination, increased appetite, panting, high blood pressure, hair loss - usually evenly distributed on both sides of the body, pendulous abdomen, thinning of the skin, susceptibility to skin infections and diabetes, weakening of the heart and skeletal muscles, nervous system disease and other symptoms.
