    question regarding ms lesions

    Hello,

    I recently had an MRI in which the radiologist indicated I had lesions compatible with MS, but he did not give much detail. My neuro asked the radiologist for clarification, and the radiologist issued a new report in which he gave greater detail regarding the lesions he found. He said there are "multiple ovoid lesions on FLAIR in the pericallosal white matter, oriented perpendicular to the interhemispheric faux". Does the radiologist's description sound fairly typical of MS lesions? What else can cause these kinds of lesions in that area? Thank you for your input.

    Hi jmwarren21 ~

    Wish we could help you with this, but your questions would be best answered by your neurologist.

    Have you had your appointment?

      I really can't answer.

      I would make sure your neuro personally reviews your MRIs and then walks through with you and doesn't just go by radiologist's report.

      If your neuro can't do that, run to a new neuro!

        OK, just wanted to ask on here because I am currently in the process of finding a new neuro. Thanks for the feedback though.

          My guess is the radiologist is talking about Dawson's fingers which are really specific lesions for MS.

            I know we are not Drs. but wondering if anyone has heard of this before on their MRI brain

            Chronic white matter signal changes in the bilateria corona radiate and centrum semioval region.
            Minimal progression within the subcortical white matter of the right parietal lobe from prior imaging.

              Hi TNVolMomma.

              In the MRI report there is an impression section which will list possible causes for MRI findings, but is not a diagnosis.

              There can be numerous reasons for MRI findings. Your appointment on Thursday will hopefully provide answers. Best wishes!
