Contrast-enhanced lesions on computerised tomography in multiple sclerosis

A E Harding et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1978 Aug.

Abstract

Two patients are described in whom computerised tomography revealed contrast-enhanced lesions in the early stages of multiple sclerosis. Such lesions may be differentiated from tumours by their transient nature, lack of space-occupying effect, and localisation in the white matter. Contrast enhancement in demyelinating disease is probably related to local breakdown of the blood-brain barrier.
