The $2,500 False Security: Prenuvo MRI Lawsuit Sean Clifford Over Missed Stroke Signs

2 min readSource

Sean Clifford is suing Prenuvo, claiming a $2,500 whole-body MRI missed a 60% arterial narrowing that led to a massive stroke. Read the full details of the lawsuit.

A $2,500 scan promised peace of mind. Instead, it allegedly missed a ticking time bomb in Sean Clifford’s brain. Prenuvo, the celebrity-endorsed startup behind whole-body MRI scans, is now facing a lawsuit that calls into question the reliability of the burgeoning preventative health tech industry.

The Prenuvo MRI Lawsuit Sean Clifford Details

According to the legal filing, Clifford underwent a scan on July 15, 2023. His legal team asserts that the images show a 60 percent narrowing and irregularity in his proximal right middle cerebral artery. Despite this, Prenuvo’s report allegedly stated there was 'no adverse finding' and that everything in his brain looked normal.

The consequences were catastrophic. On March 7, 2024, Clifford suffered a massive stroke. Medical reviews post-stroke found that the previously identified narrowing had progressed to a total blockage. He's now living with paralysis of his left side, permanent double vision, cognitive deficits, and severe anxiety, claiming these could have been averted if the scan had been read correctly.

The Debate Over Consumerized MRI

This lawsuit highlights the potential 'false sense of security' that premium wellness scans can provide. While Prenuvo markets itself as a tool for early detection, the medical community has often cautioned that there is a risk of both false negatives and over-diagnosis in whole-body screenings not tailored to specific symptoms.
