MRI results still without diagnosis

They have ruled out lupus, sjogrens, lyme disease, but still no diagnosis.  Can anyone make sense of my MRI?

Within the subcortical and periventricular white matter are several foci of abnormal T2 signal. The periventricular white matter is oriented in a perpendicular direction to the ventricular surface and there is involvement of the white matter surrounding
the atria of the lateral ventricles. These findings are consistent with the provided diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.

There is mild asymmetry of the ventricular system which is a normal anatomical variant.

The intracranial structures are without mass, hemorrhage, acute ischemia or extra-axial fluid collection. The midline structures are intact and the ventricles are normal in size.

The craniocervical junction is unremarkable without evidence of Chiari malformation. Normal marrow signal is present in the calvarium.

Postcontrast imaging is negative for abnormal enhancement in the brain.

It says you have lesions on the ventricals. Many people with MS have lesions on the ventricals. It is still up to the neurologist.

Hi there, have you had your B12 levels checked? Also it would be good to have aneurological exam if you have not already had one.

Not sure what symptoms you have or if you are currently seeing a neurologist but if you have not had a neurology consult you should.

I hope you get some answers soon,
