Hi all. Just wondering if anyone else has the words "Wallerian degeneration" mentioned in their MRI reports?
I have sort of an understanding that this basically just means degeneration of the nerve cells, axonal death, and this phenomenon as its understood now might start already early in the ms process.
As for myself, I was diagnosed some five years ago and my MRI reports speak of WD in the thalamus area. I wonder if this is commonplace or is my radiologist just mentioning out of her personal interest in WD or something...
