http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Multiple-Sclerosis/show/41 Specifically, this Health Page describes the lesions found in MS: http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Multiple-Sclerosis/How-MRIs-Show-Lesions-in-MS/show/23?cid=36 Also, what a typical MS work up entails: http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Multiple-Sclerosis/Common-Blood-Test-Youll-See-During-the-Diagnosis-Process/show/446?cid=36 Good luck and keep us posted.

d also like to know if a head CAT scan could also detect lesions in the white matter typical to multiple sclerosis, even if that CAT scan was initially made to rule out possible brain trauma due to a head blow. So basically, is it possible for a neurologist to suspect from multiple sclerosis by looking at a regular CAT scan, or only through MRI? Sorry to bother, I'd really appreciate a reply since the ghost of multiple sclerosis is driving me insane.

Those type of lesions are suggestive of the lesions seen in MS. If you are heading to the Neurologist, it would be good to have both studies with you on disk. You should keep a copy for yourself. This is really a case where it would be best if your Neurologist could compare the old and new studies.

Most of your symptoms are related to Multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis causes muscle weakness and nerve damage all over the body. Hoarseness may be caused by neck muscle weakness and paralysis of the vocal fold as a result of multiple sclerosis. Hoarseness may or may not be related to the other symptoms. One of the other causes of hoarseness of voice and severe pain in the back is Aortic dissection. It is a serious condition.

Also, there are no visible lesions in the brainstem or cerebellum. Typical features of multiple sclerosis are lacking. Prominent perivascular spaces are noted in the left cerebral peduncle of the midbrain. There is no pathologic enhancement in any area. There are no areas of restricted diffusion on DWI. The ventricles are normal. The major vascular flow voids are unremarkable. The orbits and paranasal sinuses are unremarkable. Any ideas?

The hyper intense lesions in the white matter are areas of demyelination which are peculiar to multiple sclerosis, cerebrospinal fluid also needs to be tested for cells, proteins and oligoclonal bands and electro physiological studies. These along with clinical signs and MRI quite likely point towards multiple sclerosis. Take care.

Hi there, the only way to answer your question is with one word - NO! They dont actually know (yet) what causes the demyelinting brain and or spinal lesions, which is the cause of the sx's that happen with Multiple Sclerosis (meaning many scars).

6mm in left frontal parietal says consistent with clinical diagnosis of multiple sclerosis can not see ms nero till june 25 do you think this is enough to get a diagnosis have had all test to rule out everything else thanks so much for any answer

There are multiple causes for so called white matter lesions in the brain. Most often, these are due to what is called "chronic small vessel disease", literally meaning diseased small vessels that supply blood flow to the brain. This is not an uncommon process in the brain and increases with age. This is not a disease in and of itself but rather is a reflection of unhealthy blood vessels, damaged by years of plaque build-up.

21800/abstract Abstract Objective CD4 T-cell–dependent macrophage activation directed against a myelin or oligodendrocyte antigen is generally thought to be the mechanism causing myelin destructio...n in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, areas within expanding MS lesions may exhibit prominent oligodendrocyte loss and apoptosis in the absence of infiltrating lymphocytes.

s might be talking about would be one of the rarest types of MS called Tumefactive multiple sclerosis, very rare form of multiple sclerosis (MS) but causes similar symptoms to those of a brain tumor and brain MRI's show tumor-like lesions that are larger than two centimeters. As to what type of brain cancer they might be refering to is not something i know anything about sorry.

Hello, Gliosis is a proliferation of astrocytes in the brain, in areas of damage. This is seen in areas of the brain in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, prion's disease and others. These can vary in size deending on the extent of damage.
