I believe it takes on many shapes, depending on which doc views it:


golf ball

Ferrari

Hawaii

RV

ATV

etc., etc., etc... :wink:

Wow! Sounds like a Rorschach Ink Blot test!!!!

The thing about MS is it's different for everyone. Only read about Dawson's Finger, never saw it in me. Of course I'm PPMS, different from most.

MS theories constantly changng. Some believe it starts in gray matter before getting so evident in the white. MS theory is always changing, that never changes.

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!!
