Could this be MS or migraines?
by rayebear, Oct 26, 2007 12:20PM
I hope someone can help me understand this a little better. I recently had a MRI done because I have been having dizzy spells, numbness on my right side, headaches, and muscle weakness.
Well my findings on the MRI were:
There are numerous small foci of abnormal FLAIR and T2 prolongation in the deep white matter tracts, most prominently in the subcortial portion of the right parietal lobe with numerous other smaller lesions seen subcortically throughout the supratentorial brain. These lesions are not associates with enhancement, diffusion restiction, or hemorrahage. In light of the symtomalogy and the patients age (i'm 31) the possibility of demyelinating disease could be considered as well. Follow-up imaging or other clinical evaluation may be necessary. The brain parenchyma, ventricles and subarachnoid spaces otherwise appear unremarkable as do the sinuses and musculoskeletal structures.
Impression:
Leukoencephalopathy suspicious for underlying demyelination disease with differential considerations as discussed above.
My nureo threw MS around and I am awaiting my spianl tap results now.
Does this sound like MS?
