Here is My Question:
I went to the hospital due to a droopy left eye. The doctors said it was either a stroke or multiple sclerosis. They did test after test and came to a conclusion that it wasn't a stroke. They then proceeded to have my brain scanned through MRI. The test came back that I had a lesion. The test said: Mildly scattered periventricular and subcortical white matter hyperintensities are identified. The largest is seen in the right centrum semiovale/corona radiata and has the appearance of a Dawson's finger. There is a tiny focus of restricted diffusion seen in the left medulla. I had an MRI with and without contrast on my spine. Both came back negative of any lesions. Anyway, after this test I was scheduled for a lumbar puncture. The test results were kappa free light chain, CSF .1010 H mg/dl<.1000. This is positive. My band test came back CFS bands and olig which was can you give me some clarification on what means could condition still be considered a cis will I have to undergo more MRIs in the future? Thanks so much I love this website. Answer: The data provided is compelling evidence of an inflammatory central nervous system disorder. There are always uncertainties in diagnosis. This is particularly true shortly after the onset of the problem. Important questions to answer include:
