MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
DR.M.VINOTHKUMAR
APOLLO SPECIALITY HOSPITAL
DAWSON FINGERS
Typical findings for MS are:
• ovoid lesions perpendicular to the ventricles (dawson fingers).
• enhancing lesion.
• multiple lesions adjacent to the ventricles.
• Dawson fingers are typical for MS and are the result of inflammation around
penetrating venules. These veins are perpendicular to the ventricular
surface.
• ENHANCEMENT is another typical finding in MS. This enhancement will be
present for about one month after the occurrence of a lesion.
The simultaneous demonstration of enhancing and non-enhancing lesions in
MS is the radiological counterpart of the clinical dissemination in time and
space. The edema will regress and finally only the center will remain as a
hyperintense lesion on t2wi.
• Most incidentally found WMLS will have a vascular origin.
TYPICAL MRI FINDINGS FAVORING MS
Typical differences in vascular brainstem lesions compared to ms
The image on the left is an axial T2 weighted image illustrating typical
vascular brainstem involvement, with a central involvement of the
transverse pontine fibers.
The image on the right is an axial T2 weighted image of the brainstem
of an MS-patient, showing typical peripherally located white matter
lesions, often in or near the trigeminal tract, or bordering the 4th
ventricle.
Typical for MS in this case is:
• Involvement of the temporal lobe (red arrow)
• Juxtacortical lesions (green arrow) - touching the cortex
• Involvement of the corpus callosum (blue arrow)
• Periventricular lesions - touching the ventricles
Juxtacortical lesions - specific for MS.
• Adjacent to the cortex and must touch the cortex.
• Do not use the word subcortical to describe this location, because that is a less specific term,
indicating a larger area of white matter almost reaching the ventricles.
• In small vessel disease these juxtacortical U-fibers are not involved and on T2 and FLAIR
there will be a dark band between the WML and the (also bright) cortex (yellow arrow).
Temporal lobe involvement is also specific for MS.
In hypertensive encephalopathy, the WMLs are located in the frontal and parietal lobes,
uncommonly in the occipital lobes and not in the temporal lobes.
Only in CADASIL there is early involvement of the temporal lobes.
• There are multiple lesions in the spinal cord. another typical feature of MS.
• Typical spinal cord lesions in ms are relatively small and peripherally located.
• They are most often found in the cervical cord and are usually less than 2 vertebral segments in length. a
spinal cord lesion together with a lesion in the cerebellum or brainstem is very suggestive of MS.
• Spinal cord lesions are uncommon in most other CNS diseases, with the exception of ADEM, Sarcoid, Lyme
disease and SLE.
• Proton density weighted image (PDWI).they are crucial for studying the spinal cord.
On PDW-IMAGES the spinal cord has a uniformly low signal intensity (like CSF), which gives the ms lesions
a good contrast against the surrounding csf and normal cord tissue.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a relatively common acquired chronic relapsing demyelinating disease involving the
central nervous system, and is the second most common cause of neurological impairment in young adults, after
trauma. characteristically, and by definition, multiple sclerosis is disseminated not only in space (i.e multiple lesions in
different regions of the brain) but also in time (i.e. lesions occur at different times).
A number of clinical variants are recognised :
• classic multiple sclerosis (charcot type)
• Tumefactive multiple sclerosis
• Marburg type (acute malignant)
• Schilder type (diffuse cerebral sclerosis)
• Balo concentric sclerosis
• IMPORTANTLY, neuromyelitis optica (devic disease) was considered a variant of multiple sclerosis, but is now
recognised as a distinct entity

  • 7. Typical for MS in this case is: • Involvement of the temporal lobe (red arrow) • Juxtacortical lesions (green arrow) - touching the cortex • Involvement of the corpus callosum (blue arrow) • Periventricular lesions - touching the ventricles
  • 8. Juxtacortical lesions - specific for MS. • Adjacent to the cortex and must touch the cortex. • Do not use the word subcortical to describe this location, because that is a less specific term, indicating a larger area of white matter almost reaching the ventricles. • In small vessel disease these juxtacortical U-fibers are not involved and on T2 and FLAIR there will be a dark band between the WML and the (also bright) cortex (yellow arrow). Temporal lobe involvement is also specific for MS. In hypertensive encephalopathy, the WMLs are located in the frontal and parietal lobes, uncommonly in the occipital lobes and not in the temporal lobes. Only in CADASIL there is early involvement of the temporal lobes.
  • 9. • There are multiple lesions in the spinal cord. another typical feature of MS. • Typical spinal cord lesions in ms are relatively small and peripherally located. • They are most often found in the cervical cord and are usually less than 2 vertebral segments in length. a spinal cord lesion together with a lesion in the cerebellum or brainstem is very suggestive of MS. • Spinal cord lesions are uncommon in most other CNS diseases, with the exception of ADEM, Sarcoid, Lyme disease and SLE. • Proton density weighted image (PDWI).they are crucial for studying the spinal cord. On PDW-IMAGES the spinal cord has a uniformly low signal intensity (like CSF), which gives the ms lesions a good contrast against the surrounding csf and normal cord tissue.

  • 23. MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a relatively common acquired chronic relapsing demyelinating disease involving the central nervous system, and is the second most common cause of neurological impairment in young adults, after trauma. characteristically, and by definition, multiple sclerosis is disseminated not only in space (i.e multiple lesions in different regions of the brain) but also in time (i.e. lesions occur at different times). A number of clinical variants are recognised : • classic multiple sclerosis (charcot type) • Tumefactive multiple sclerosis • Marburg type (acute malignant) • Schilder type (diffuse cerebral sclerosis) • Balo concentric sclerosis • IMPORTANTLY, neuromyelitis optica (devic disease) was considered a variant of multiple sclerosis, but is now recognised as a distinct entity
