MRI of the brain with and with out contrast

[Fharr]

I'm 42 years old and I'm having problems with my eyes and ears  are blocked i feel like pressure on the right side of my body somedays my left arm is num also had an MRI of my neck that shows as conclusion that C5 and C6 intervertebral disc demontrates mild loss of height and minimal posterior protusion. So I'm not to sure what to think This was the conclusion of my MRI of MRI with contrast and without
involvement of the cerebral white matter by nonspecific T hyperintensities is consistent with nonspecific white matter gliosis. demyelination is a less likely differential diagnostic possibility that cannot be totally excluded.

I'm not experienced in MS but do now know that having disc protrusion on C5 and C6 can cause those symptoms (although so can MS). If there are no lesions on your MRI, my very noneducated guess would be that the disc is causing your issues. I'm in the same boat except my disc is pressing on the spinal cord and I have lesions.

Hi and welcome,

You haven't asked a question, which maybe one of the reason's why your post isn't getting responses, so i'm going to assume because you've landed on the MS community that the question is.....Could this be MS?

Unfortunately, your brain MRI report isn't really giving any useful information, to make demyelination (MS) more suspicious, eg lesion's in common MS locations, enhancement with contrast, shape, size, number etc are typically mentioned, so i would interpret this MRI report to mean there was nothing to specifically indicate demyelination was a likely cause.

Id say your spinal MRI report didn't find any spinal cord lesions to indicate demyelination but what the MRI did find was "C5 and C6 intervertebral disc demontrates mild loss of height and minimal posterior protusion"  and this structural difference 'may' be what leads to the explanation of your sxs.

All in all, your MRI's are not specifically suggestive of MS, but these results alone would not be enough to rule MS out of the possible explanation, just that MS wouldn't be at the top of your list and further testing might be needed to determine the cause of your sx's. Hope that helps a little.
