“Differential Diagnosis of Brain Focal White Matter
Lesions in Young A dults”.
Learning objectives: i. To be aware of the limited specificity of brain multifocal T2 abnormalities. ii. To learn about recognition patterns that might be helpful in suggesting the most likely etiology of brain multifocal T2 lesions. iii. To learn about the role of spinal cord imaging in the differential diagnosis of brain T2 hyperintense lesions. iv. To be able to establish a neuroimaging diagnostic strategy in young patients with multiple brain T2 lesions of unknown origin.
