43+ Multiple Sclerosis Ms Brain Lesions Background. Multiple sclerosis (ms) produces neurological symptoms due to its effect on the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves (the nerves that control vision). With magnetic resonance imaging, doctors can use the lesions to track the progress of the condition.
The patient has eeg probes on the skull the measure brain response to visual stimuli. A brain magnetic resonance imaging (mri) scan and occasionally evoked potential tests are used to detect ms lesions in the brainstem. This process results in the demyelination of white matter in the brain and spinal cord.
Brain lesions can be caused by many different triggers.
Multiple sclerosis (ms) is a relatively common acquired chronic relapsing demyelinating disease involving the central nervous system, and is the second characteristically, and by definition, multiple sclerosis is disseminated not only in space (i.e. Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and multiple sclerosis. According to the mcdonald criteria for ms, the diagnosis requires objective evidence of lesions disseminated in time. Multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks myelinated axons in the brain and spinal cord nerve fibers (central nervous system), damaging or destroying the myelin (demyelination) and/or the axons (nerve tissue).
