What Does The MRI Results Indicate?
Hi I am a 47 year old female with MS type symptoms. Bloods all fine no diabetes, blood pressure a little low, thyroid fine. I am 5 1 and weigh 52 kg. Dr sent me for MrI without contrast. One T2 lesion found in the white matter of the right frontal lobe and another found in the T4 vertebral body. What does this mean can it be MS? Thank you Denise

Hello
One T2 lesion in brain doesn't confirm MS(multiple sclerosis).It may be an incidental finding.
MS is associated with many clinical features and MS lesions are found in typical region of brain like periventricular,pericallosal region.
T2 bright lesion in brain may also be due to ischemia.Since your don't have hypertension,diabetes mellitus ,ischemia is unlikely.
You may have follow up MRI scan to seen progression of lesions.
Verterbral lesion is most likely an incidental finding.
Get well soon.
Take Care
