I was wondering if all MS patients have lesions on the brain? |
| While it is true that the vast majority of persons with MS have brain lesions on MRI, occasional individuals have no lesions in the brain when first seen. These people usually have evidence of spinal cord abnormalities by clinical examination and often on spinal cord MRI's. Some conditions may cause abnormalities confined to the spinal cord and the optic nerves such as Devic's syndrome, and never show many brain lesions. Individuals with MS who lack cerebral lesions initially, usually develop them later on. |
