Can a Brain MRI always detect Multiple Sclerosis?

Posted by admin Comments (1)

Question by Bubba: Can a Brain MRI always detect Multiple Sclerosis?
I have many symptoms related to multiple sclerosis, including: eye pain, blurry vision, dizziness, headaches, chronic pain (including facial pain), cognitive problems, chest pain when I wake up from sleep in the morning, fatigue, ear pain and pressure, etc.

I had a Brain MRI done two years ago, and the results came normal. I had a Head CT Scan done recently, and the results came normal.

Could it be possible that the MRI and the CT Scan had missed something?

Best answer:

Answer by ۩*´RawbX`*۩
An MRI will usually catch ms if it’s there.
“…detected by MRI in more than 90% of people suspected of having MS.”
“However, 5% of people with MS do not have abnormalities detected on MRI, thus a “negative” scan does not completely rule out MS. “

What are some tests and/or treatment for Multiple Sclerosis?

Posted by admin Comments (4)

Question by Eurhg A: What are some tests and/or treatment for Multiple Sclerosis?
Put it in words that I will know what they mean! Please!

Best answer:

Answer by drajaitly
hi,
the best test for multiple sclerosis is a mri, which would show multiple areas of plaques or sclerosis. another test that can be done is a cerebro-spinal fluid analysis. this is done after taking out fluid from your spinal canal by performing a lumbar puncture. in this you should see oligoclonal immunoglobulin bands.

as for treatment, the standard treatment for acute attacks is prednisone, a steroid, as the main cause is that your body is attacking certain parts of your body, mainly the brain, and when a particular area gets sclerosed, the function from that part of the brain shuts down. another way to explain this disease is like on your cell phone, if a number is not working, then you cannot call anyone who has that particular number in their telephone number.

other disease suppressing agents/drugs include interferon and copolymers. for symptomatic treatment the following is recommended:
spasticity = baclofen
bladder dysfunction = oxybutynin
pain = tricyclic antidepressants or carbamazepine
fatigue = amantadine
depression = ssri

do not take any medications for any disease without confering with your doctor.

good luck
