What does MS (multiple sclerosis) look like on brain MRI? Avoid wrongful diagnosis!

Neurospa Brain Rejuvenation

Dr. Elahi briefly discusses typical MRI findings in multiple sclerosis (MS) and how these findings can be differentiated from non-MS findings such as in small vessel ischemia or migraine pathology. Characteristics of MS lesions help avoid misdiagnosis and/or overdiagnosis of MS in patients who may be suffering from other disorders.

Is this native MRI or gadolinium contrast MRI? Thank you

Does having lesions in one of these areas along with symptoms justify an MS diagnosis?

Hi... THIS MRI LOOKS TOO MUCH LIKE MINE!!! Almost identical... I've been learning how to read MRI images... (Based on my symptoms... I am suspended for MS).. When I did the MRI I reviewed the disk before the radiologist report was released... I noted, Periventricular, juxtacortical, subcortical and a few lesions at the 90 degree angle to the corpus callosum... I have the semi-circle/horse shoe lesion... However when I got the report this is what it says...

Multiple punctate foci of T2/FLAIR high signal are seen within the subcortical and periventricular white matter of the bilateral frontal and parietal lobes. There is no associated mass effect, oedema, restricted diffusion or enhancement.

My nuero is outside of office... So I don't know what to do with that.

Few punctuate area of T2/flair hyper intensity without diffusion restrictions are seen involving bilateral cerebral white matter of unknown clinical significance…… is it related to MS, dementia or it’s just common findings of brain mri??

:hand-pink-waving:Thank you for your video, in 2016 I got a "high disease burden" brain with 50+ leisons. I have scoured the WEB. This is the single video I wished I found this earlier.
It's difficult to understand these results, but show and tell is needed. I get it now. Thank you

Just wondering what the words mean, "high disease burden" Is it MRI reader and /doctor speak, and if there are more than 50 do you actually count 50, then stop?:hand-pink-waving:

Can multiple punctate hyperintense lesions in the subcortial white matter be ms ? I'm confused

@Americangirlsp75 3 years ago

Hi, thank you for the video..I have WMH T2 and all the symptoms for MS and not other diseases, my neurologist refused to listen to them and I’ve never seen her..I just have pressure in my head at times with horrible balance and completely loss my short term memory and cannot follow conversations..I’m going to get a new neurologist but should I get another MRI of brain and spine??

I have a Left Pareital Infarct due to a stroke last week, could an MS MRI be confused with a stroke MRI or is this highly highly unlikely?

The scan results were analysed by a specialist stroke doctor and a none specialist doctor in that field but worry about a stroke misdiagnosis
