A member asked:
Please help me understand the result of my mri. it says a few juxtacortical lesions are noted in the left side of the medulla. what does it mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Juxta mean: "just next to"..so just next to the cortex of the brain. The cortex is the outer layer of grey matter tissue that looks wrinkled. A lesion can mean a small growth, change, alteration, etc, The medulla (medulla oblongata) is the continuation of the spinal cord within the skull, the lowest part of the brain stem. Such lesions may be found in MS, other conditions, nothing. Ordering Doc can interpret.
