mri finding suspected ms

FINDINGS: No evidence of a Chiari malformation or partially empty sella.  No  
evidence of an acute infarct.  No MR evidence for intracranial hemorrhage.  
Compared with prior examination, re-demonstrated are scattered subcortical and
periventricular white matter T2/FLAIR signal hyperintensities.  These appear  
grossly stable when compared to the prior examination.  More diffuse white  
matter T2/FLAIR signal hyperintensities within the posterior frontal/parietal  
region also appear to have been present on the prior examination.  Post  
contrast imaging demonstrates no evidence of abnormal intracranial  
enhancement.

No hydrocephalus.  The intracranial flow voids are present.  Cavum septum  
pellucidum.

No fluid levels in the visualized paranasal sinuses.  Mastoid air cells appear
clear.

IMPRESSION:  

No evidence of acute infarct, mass or hydrocephalus.

Grossly stable nonspecific focal, as well as more diffuse, white matter  
T2/FLAIR signal hyperintensities without enhancement.  Considerations do  
continue to involve sequelae of migraine headaches, microangiopathic changes,  
demyelinating process, Lyme disease versus a vasculitis.  Due to the lack of  
enhancement, no evidence of recent activity.

Greetings and welcome to the MS forum.  Your report leaves open a number of possibilities  as listed under the impressions.  If you get the time, you might want to share how your other symptoms might fit into this picture.

We know that getting a diagnosis on the basis of the MRI alone rarely happens  - and your MRI has too many unaswered questions.

Have you been seen by a neurologist?  The report mentions no change from a previous MRI.  When was that done and why?  

Have you been tested for Lyme Disease?  It is much more common and presents quite a bit like MS.

Do you have a history or migraines?  

Sorry to ask so many questions but before anyone can really react to the report, a larger part of the puzzle needs to be supplied.

I hope to see you back around here.
