What are the most common places in the brain to first pick up MS lesions on MRIs? Is the deep white matter of the right frontal lobe one of the common places to first spot an MS lesion?
MS lesions can appear anywhere in the brain and the spinal cord but the deep white matter of the brain adjacent to the ventricles of the brain is a common and characteristic location. In addition, MRI can most easily see MS lesions in the deep white matter of the brain (compared to the spinal cord or optic nerves). The deep white matter of the frontal lobe is a common location for an MS lesion but they can be in the white matter of any lobe of the brain. Return to Top 7. Would you please give some advice regarding diagnosing Devic’s Disease? We have a PT. who presented a few years ago with Transverse Myelitis, 1000 WBC IN CSF, who now has Optic Neuritis with 1 cell and 4 oligoclonal bands. No other neurological SX. The Optic Neuritis occurred a few months post-partum. Thank you. Devic’s (neuromyelitis optica) is a challenging diagnosis. It is often difficult to differentiate from MS. There are now criteria to assist in making the diagnosis. These criteria are: Absolute criteria (all re
