Common Questions and Answers about Multiple sclerosis lesions

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.

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.

Please let us know how you are doing. When will you be seeing a neurologist?

Your MRI lesions are not very defined and punctate though appear demyelinating. These do not suggest multiple sclerosis out rightly but need to be correlated clinically and along with other investigations. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating neurological disorder where the disease phase is characterized by active phase and remissions. It has multiple symptoms and signs and is a diagnosis of exclusion.

But, here you are in a weekend with some worrisome news and no where to talk to someone. Stay here and talk with us. We'll help you get through the time until you can see the neuro. I will say that this MRI does not make the diagnosis by itself.

In a third study, optic neuritis with no MRI lesions led to multiple sclerosis at 5 years in 16%, versus 51% of patients with 3 or more MRI lesions (Beck 1997). The 10-year data for this study show multiple sclerosis in 22% without MRI lesions, and in 56% in those with 1 or more MRI lesions. The amount of disability is unrelated to baseline lesion load. In a fourth study, optic neuritis with no MRI lesions led to multiple sclerosis at 5.

t anything was wrong with me but wanted to monitor me for multiple sclerosis by me keeping a diary and come back in 8 weeks. Also she gave me a couple blood tests for b12 and thyroid which came back normal. The latest symptom I've been feeling is a mild leg throbbing in my right leg along with the continuous neck burning sensation and on and off tingling in my arms. The sores on my tongue are healed and only occasionally will feel a little ache on left side of my face. Any advice?
