Dissemination in "space" means that the attacks clearly happened because of two seperate neurological causes (lesions), and the attacks identified where those lesion would be found (basically).

So, I had one attack where I was numb from the chest down, and another where I was numb from the top of my head down. With spinal lesions, they KNOW that those attacks came from different lesions within my spine, and the MRI confirmed that.

If you had eg. one event with ON, then one of TM . . . or one of TM and another with facial numbness, then you would have dissemination in "space".

Have you had two "clinically observed" attacks that affected two seperate neurological areas?
