A tiny white matter lesion in the semi oval centre on the left side is appears unchanged compared with 2011. both are non specific in the appearances: neither shows patholigic enhancement or restriction of diffusion. No further white matter lesions are identified in supratentorial brain conclusion two tiny white matter lesions are identified in the left hemisphere,one of which is new compared with 2011. the appearance of the lesions are non specific, not definitely demyelinating plaques.in any case no active lesions are identified. no posterior fossa or cervical cord abnormalities
@adar

Demyelinating plaques are a sign of MS. That's how must of us get diagnosed.

@Stumbler

Hi @ruger2012 snd welcome. It's not safe to say anything about what this means. Brain lesions can be acquired as part of the normal process. Apart from that, it's not really safe either for forum members to try and interpret MRI results. Consultants are paid a lot of money, after a lot of training, to do this. But, MRIs only show so much information. It may be what is not displayed...... MRIs are only part of the diagnostic process, which also involves your clinical history and, if necessary, other tests. What are the symptoms that lead to you being in a scanner?
