Cortical Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis
May 16, 2022
The commonly discussed MS plaques are within the white matter (WM) of the brain and are called (WM) lesions and can be seen on regular MRIs.Interestingly, a different type of lesion has been described in the cortex of MS patients, and a significant number of MS patients has these cortical lesions.The presence of cortical MS lesions has been confirmed in several pathological and imaging studies and has been recognized as an important component of MS.Despite resembling areas of WM demyelination,...

Participants will have relapsing forms of MS and...
Your MRI Scan
April 22, 2022
MRI scans are the best test we have had to help make a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis and monitor the disease.But some lesions in white matter come from other stresses to brain like aging, hypertension, stiff blood vessels and diabetes and we need to get better at identifying lesions specific to MS.Also MRI does not tell us everything about the lesion which is why we are looking for more advanced imaging techniques. It is why sometimes you will ask how could my MRI be stable when I feel I am...
