A member asked:
2 tiny lesions on brain 1 enhanced, 1 non. no symptoms of ms. only have headaches. no lesions on spine. dr's are confused. what could be causing them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need diagnosis: The enhanced lesion is indicative of inflammation of an acute type and would definitely suggest next step being a lumbar puncture. If this is negative, would repeat films in about 4-6 months. Also, if you feel your doctors are confused, find a neurologist for a second opinion.
