Multiple disappearing spinal lesions

Seizures and ‘disappearing’ brain lesions

BACKGROUND--Patients with seizures may have abnormal brain imaging. Lesions demonstrated on computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging often suggest the underlying cause of the seizures, and may prompt an invasive investigation for diagnosis and treatment. In an increasingly recognized subset of patients however, the imaged lesions spontaneously resolve. While poorly understood, thes...

Magnetic resonance imaging of spinal cord lesions in multiple sclerosis.

The clinical and pathological manifestations of multiple sclerosis are due to areas of demyelination which occur throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. MRI of the brain frequently shows abnormalities in the hemispheric subcortical white matter; these are demonstrable in the majority of patients and support the clinical diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Our studies have shown ...
