Patient Data
Findings are characteristic of multiple sclerosis, demonstrating multiple periventricular white matter hyperintensities arranged in a perivenular distribution. Note also the numerous posterior fossa and spinal cord lesions. In the lateral aspect of the right frontal lobe, a juxtacortical lesion demonstrates contrast enhancement.
