Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your MRI brain finding and your concern regarding a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Regarding your query, high parietal does not mean juxta-cortical.

Also, a single lesion in high parietal region is unlikely to suggest a diagnosis of MS. Typically, in MS, there would be multiple white matter lesions, of different ages.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
