Enlargement of new lesion?

[anon07072023]

Hi Everyone,

I always order my doctor's notes from my appts. I just received my notes from my neuro appt that I had in November.
He said my symptoms could "correspond to an enlargement of new lesion on the cervical spine."  I had an MRI in Oct on my c-spine.  

I'm not for sure if I get what he's saying. Has anyone heard this terminology before? I would think that my lesion would either be new or be enlarged - not both.  Any ideas??

Thank you!!!

Well, I guess that's probably why they said about a year ago that the one in my t-spine looked bigger on my 2nd MRI of my t-spine.
Interesting....
Thanks Bob.

Lesions typically start with a breakdown in the blood brain barrier at a blood vessel and the inflammatory factors and WBCs leak out to destroy the Myelin in that area.  Over time, the lesion may grow.  Even after the BBB is restored, the damage to the myelin can continue,
