Hello there,
I have recently taken MRI and was found to have multiple punctate white matter within the subcortical region that were too numerous and abnormal for age (I am 28).
My symptoms were light headedness, and slight nystagmus that began a couple of years ago after a heavy drinking episode. I have not had any other symptoms since, aside from the light headedness / occasionally slight vertigo that has come and gone since then.
My question is, is "punctate" defined as a lesion? I went for a follow-up MRI a year later which did not prove dissemination in time - There may have been additional punctate observed but I guess it did not cross the threshold for diagnosis.
