I just had an MRI done and I wanted to find out if MS is a likely outcome. Here is the "very confusing" language:
"There are 3 to 4 subcentimeter areas of FLAIR and T2 hyperintensity seen within the periventricular and subcortical white matter, none are associated with pathologic enhancement or restricted diffusion. These are nonspecific differential - possibilities would include age advanced microvascular ischemic changes, sequelae or migraine, less likely postinflammatory/postinfectious process or demyelination. There is no MRI evidence or acute infarction. There are no pathologic areas of infarction.
Also, with the MRA and probably not related is that I have a dissected, occluded vertebral artery.
What does that mean?
