I only have one lesion that is located in my neck. It looks like a marble to me, but...
I believe it takes on many shapes, depending on which doc views it: golf ball Ferrari Hawaii RV ATV etc., etc., etc...

never occurred to me to look at the shape of my lesions.
But if I was to describe them, they look like maggots. Seems like a fitting description... |

I am NOT going to pull out my last MRI films... They're sitting 5 feet away from me... This is hard...
I'm thinking most of my lesions look like star clusters in far away galaxies. My last full MRI was in 2003. I had over 30 lesions then - fortunately all in the brain. Some were pretty large. Shape was variable. I'm talking past tense here. There's a reason. I had regular MRI's 1988 - 2003. Some past lesions have disappeared. These things do come and go, although remyelination is not necessarily the reason why. I like to think so, but I'm hopelessly optimistic. Tom |

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!!
