Extremely High Fever

Hi,

I hope someone knows the answer to this...

When I was three, I had a fever of 108.4 going into surgery for a severe salivary gland infection. The fever was quickly reduced (within just a few minutes) to much safer levels.

Right now (age 28), I'm having some neurological issues and my neurologist thinks I may have MS. My brain MRI showed fourteen small lesions. Anyway, my question is this:

What kind of damage could a high fever do to the brain? How would it show on an MRI - white spots or black spots, atrophy or shrinkage or what?

I'm just wondering if the two could be related at all or not. I didn't think of the fever until my after my last neuro appointment.  I plan on asking her at my next appointment, but thought I would ask you all first :-)

Thanks for the help!

Robin

Robin, what are your neurological issues? Lyme Disease and Migraines are also associated with brain lesions.

so what did your doctor say about the potential results of high fever?
