Hello,
I stumbled across an article which discusses Cervican Spondylotic Myelopathy and the differential dianosis of ALS depending on symptoms. My understanding was that ALS patients will not have any lesions showing on MRIs. This is the first article I have read which says that a c-sine lesion should alert the physician to possible ALS. I will attached the link here if you are interested. I am now wondering how many of you had clear brains but a lesion on the c-spine?
Not sure if this should be under General Questions-- feel free to move it, but since I am undiagnosed, I thought I would start here.
As always, replies appreciated.
