oblong focus ofT2 hypersensitivity inferior to the head of the right caudate

Also a T2 signal abnormality was seen just lateral to the head of the right caudate.  These signals were seen over and over again and then they disappeared many years later after Copaxone.  Are they indicative of MS with other signs such as a neurogenic bladder and a positive Romberg as well as bad tandem walking and an ataxic walk that comes and goes with 'attacks'?  I have also had they abnormalities in the pareital lobe but mostly the caudate has the most abnormal signals.  Are abnormal signals also lesions?  Thank you.

Sounds like MS to me - are you being evaluated by a neuro?

For the most part it isn't really useful to try to match up where our lesions are with what our symptoms are.  The correlation is just too poor.  You can have symptoms and problems that prove there is a lesion in a particular place, but the MRI doesn't show it, or the MRI can be full of lesions and there are no correspnding symptoms.  

When it comes to MS - the expression "It is what it is" is the best way to look at it.

Now, that said, it is only human to try to figure the puzzle out, lol.

Yes, abnormal signals, or "increased/decreased signal intensity" are two ways of saying "lesions on the MRI."

I hope this helps.
