Hello-
How reliable are brain/cervical MRI's when it comes to looking for lesions? I have never had migraines and am 35 years old.
My ex-neuro said that I don't have MS because all I had was:
"scattered mild punctate FLAIR hyperintense signal changes within periventricular deep white matter and subcortical regions of the frontal lobes. No evidence of abnormal enhancement. Findings are nonspecific. Demyelinating process is not entirely excluded." Apparently a radiologist would not exclude demyelinating process, what could this mean, apparently, the ex-neuro didn't think it meant anything. I disagreed, feeling the way my body does...
Are these lesions?
Anyone familiar with the jargon of brain MRI and its implications?
Thanks, Anni
