What Causes An Abnormal Amount Of White Matter In An MRI Report Of The Brain?

My MRI on my brain showed an abnormal amount of white matter. My neurologist is very concerned but is hesitant to give me a diagnosis. I am having trouble with my gait, double vision, weakness in my legs, and spasms in my torso and abdomen. She is doing so blood work at this time but til then, can you offer mr some idea ...what you think. She says in her opinion, it doesn’t look like MS to her. Thank you.

Hello,

Don't what is abnormal white matter. But in the case of MS, infraction or storage disorders may present like the decreased volume of white matter.

Normal pressure hydrocephalus may present like dilated ventricle may present like this.

Until clinical and systemic examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. So please consult your neuro physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
