Brain

a tiny T2/FLAIR hyper intense white matter lesion bordering on the anterior horn of the left ventricle is noted, which was not visible on prevous exam. A tiny white matter lesion in the semi oval centre on the left side is appears unchanged compared with 2011. both are non specific in the appearances:  neither shows patholigic enhancement or restriction of diffusion. No further white matter lesions are identified in supratentorial brain





conclusion

two tiny white matter lesions are identified in the left hemisphere,one of which is new compared with 2011. the appearance of the lesions are non specific, not definitely demyelinating plaques.in any case no active lesions are identified. no posterior fossa or cervical cord abnormalities

Hi and welcome,

I don't think its ever safe to tell anyone by just a brain MRI that they do or don't have MS.....what i will tell you is MS would usually be a less likely cause, if the only thing the MRI's have picked up in 6 years (2011 to 2017) is a total of 2 tiny (less than 3mm) non specific lesions in just the left hemisphere of the cerebrum.

The cerebrum is the upper, front portion of the brain and it has two hemispheres or halves, left and right and a not uncommon location of non specific micro vascular white matter lesions.  

Hope that helps........JJ
