mri
my mri showed 3 high attenuation areas in the deep white matter on brain T2 and flair sequences. they are consistent with ischemic foci or demyelination. this has worried me considerbly as i have been feeling off balance and funny eyes for 5 months, the only way i can describe it is that my eyes not working properly, tired feeling,not blurred. Do you think this could be early signs of ms? I have has balance test that came back normal. thanks
hi i seen a neurologist last week and he says the radiologist over diagnosed on his findings on my mri. neuro says i only have one spot and is not ischemic foci or demeylination. He says there could be a number of things maybe been there from birth or bump to head. all he wants me to do is have a cholestrol test. He says the spot is not in the right place for ms.
apparently these are on the left hand side, does anyone know what this indicates. If it was ms would the small foci be on both sides. I am an x smoker. I started to experience balance and funny eyes imediatly after miscarriage.
Good morning, and welcome.
Not being an expert in the field, I can't speak definitively in any way on your question, but I will say that I doubt your ENT can, either, at this point. It sounds like a "maybe," but there are so many other things that go into an accurate diagnosis of MS that it's really much too early to say. Spots on T2 and FLAIR can come from an assortment of things, as you've probably already heard.
You've come to a good place for information and encouragement, as the people on this forum are super. My advice is to wait to see what the medical professionals say, but in the meantime, educate yourself with the "Health Pages" posted here (see yellow button at upper right) and elsewhere, and by sticking around with this gang to learn from the conversations.
We hope this helps, and will pray that you find clear and accurate answers soon.
