Had tolook up Dawson'e Fingers.
Dawson's fingers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dawson's Fingers appearing on an MRI scan
"Dawson's Fingers" is the name for the multiple sclerosis lesions around the ventricle-based brain veins[1][2] of Multiple Sclerosis patients. The condition is supposed to be the result of inflammation or mechanical damage by blood pressure[3]around long axis of medular veins.
Dawson's fingers spread along, and from, large periventricular collecting veins, and are attributed to perivenular inflammation[4]. Lesions far away from these veins are known as Steiner's splashes[3].
No wonder I have no Dawson's Fingers! Being PPMS I don't enhance, don't get inflamation. Never numb or tingl-y but can't walk!!
