I had an MRI and the conclusion was Foci of increased T2 and flair signal predominatly with the subcortical white matter but ther is also a small periventrical component..  Should be considered including demyelinating process

Demyelinating MS plaques are usually found in periventricular white matter, optic tracts, cerebellum, brainstem. and spinal cord.  3 lesions of suficient size and 2 of which are in periventricular white matter or cerebellum are necessary to diagnose MS.  Other diseases can cause lesions, meaning that these findings can be due to something else other than multiple sclerosis.
