Lesions can occur for various reason and various diseases such as MS and other central nervous system illnesses.

In your case I guess you should work with your neurologist to rule out illnesses such as vasculitis and SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus). SLE is a possibility with white matter focal mass and T2 hyperintensity.

You will have various diseases to rule out with your neurologist to know what it means.

Hi, Thank you for your question. It seems like a white matter disease. In white matter disease or microvesicular ischemic disease of brain, pathology is associated with the brain white matter, either exclusively or in combination with grey matter changes. It occurs due to metabolism errors, exogenous toxins released by virus, autoimmune disease, leukodystrophy, demyelination, and radiation effects. Spasticity, muscle weakness, paralysis, hyper-reflexia and movement disorder may be the clinical features associated with white matter disease that need to be evaluated thoroughly. However, it is sad to say that there is no permanent cure but conservative treatment & physiotherapy exercises that would help you to regain your normal function and stopping the further progression of the disease. Please consult a neurologist in this regards. Hope this helps.
