Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine showed an intramedullary spinal cord tumor from T4 to T8 with an intramedullary cyst from T1 to T4. After thoracic decompressive surgery, findings from biopsy of the cord lesion were consistent with multiple sclerosis. Postoperatively, the patient ...
Figure 7.aSagittal T2-weighted andbaxial fluid low-attenuation inversion recovery MRI inapatient with multiple sclerosis. Ina, plaques of demyelination return high signal (bright), as does CSF. The sequence used inbis designed to show plaques as high-signal lesions, but with low signal returned...
Doctors may use MRI to help make a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. (Photo Credit: Cavan Images/Getty Images) McDonald Criteria for MS The McDonald criteria, named for neurologist Ian McDonald, is a set of measures doctors follow to help them diagnose MS more accurately and quickly. First publ...
Head and spine mri normal. Bloods normal. August - woke up with a numb and tingling patch in my left arm. Left leg is buzzing and vibrating, been constantly like this for about 4 weeks. What do you think?OP posts: See next See all Want to see thread updates from this person? × ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic inflammatory, demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system in young adults. This disorder is a heterogeneous, multifactorial, immune-mediated disease that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. In most patien...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurological disease among young adults in temperate climates, with the onset usually between the ages of 20 and 40 years, affecting twice as many women as men. MS is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), pathologically ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the key imaging method in the evaluation of multiple sclerosis (MS). It has a high sensitivity for pathological processes of the brain and spine. However, because MRI lacks specificity the diagnosis of MS is largely based on clinical criteria. Longitudinal stud...
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. Because MS affects the central nervous system, it's known as a neurological disease. MS is an autoimmune disease that causes a person's usually protective immune system...
Progressive-relapsing multiple sclerosis (PRMS) There is no one test to diagnose MS. Doctors and other health care professionals diagnose the disease by a patient's history, physical exam, and tests such as MRI, lumbar puncture, and evoked potential testing (speed of nerve impulses); other test...
