Default Lesions in certain area of brain?
Does anyone know if lesions to determine ms have to be located in a certain area of brain to be MS lesions?

Forgive me if this was addressed before, having trouble keeping up lately.

Thanks in advance.

That's what I was told while waiting to be dxd.
I was dxd based more on symptoms, I guess. My current neuro said if he'd seen my MRI, he wouldn't guess that I had full-blown MS, but my sxs sure do confirm it...

My MRI was crystal clear MS... said periventricular (I believe) area of the brain, and another area that I don't recall... but the lesions and locations were typical of those in MS, however when my regular doctor saw the MRI, before I saw the neuro, they said the lesions could be from other causes.

Which is why MS can't be diagnosed based on positive MRI results alone.

It's good that my MRI was so telling, and my lumbar puncture came back with o-bands, because my symptoms were, for the most part, not hallmark MS symptoms, but vague neurological symptoms that can show in many mimic diseases.

MS lesions most commonly involve white matter areas close to the ventricles of the cerebellum, brain stem, basal ganglia and spinal cord; and the optic nerve.

Conceptual reasoning deficits are common in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and are typically associated with focal lesions involving the frontal lobes.

This was posted by a member a long while ago but I'm sure it still applies. I've referred to it many, many times and have it "saved" on my desktop!

True and most of my lesions are in my spine, so I'm told. I can't walk but my brain is fine.

Thanks for re-posting this, Kelly! I had it saved forever, but then my computer blew up and I lost it...
