Explanation

"No evidence" in a medical document means that the tests or examinations did not show any signs or indications of a particular condition or disease. In simpler terms, it's like looking for something specific in a picture and not finding it. So, when a report says "no evidence of focal defects identified within the brainstem at any level", it means that the doctors didn't find any specific problems or abnormalities in the brainstem when they looked at the scans or tests.
