Latest mri showed one new lesion and one had gotten smaller.
That seems like a good report. I also wonder if the new hyperintensity could be due to other than MS?
See the neuro on Friday. Curious what she says. Here is the conclusion
1. Multiple cerebral white matter FLAIR hyperintensities, compatible with clinical history of
multiple sclerosis. There is a new FLAIR hyperintensity in the left centrum semiovale, while a
lesion within the right frontal lobe has decreased in size. No evidence of active demyelination.
2. No acute intracranial process identified.
I reread it. I think you are asking 'Do brain lesions getting smaller mean it's (MS) getting worse?
I think it's always good if the lesion is smaller. But just ask the neuro to explain it to you by comparing to prior mris.
If you went there already, what did he/she say?
Maybe rephrase your question. Reread it.
In one of the retrospective studies their conclusión was 'WML shrinking seems to be related to waning of acute inflammation.'
WML=white matter lesion
Waning -decreasing of Inflammation
So honestly it may be a good sign
At the end of your report what did the radiologist conclude?
Also sometimes the neuro doesn't always agree with radiologist that reads your mri.
