MRI images demonstrate multiple T2/FLAIR hyperintensities scattered through the infra and supratentorial white-matter, including perpendicular and perivenular periventricular distribution (Dawson's fingers), callososeptal interface, pons and a left superior temporal gyrus juxtacortical focus that demonstrate enhancement.
Case Discussion
Those MRI findings fulfill all the McDonald criteria for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis:
- dissemination in space (two or more of the following locations):
- periventricular
- juxtacortical
- infratentorial
- spinal cord
- dissemination in time: presence of an asymptomatic enhancing lesion
