Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone here is knowledgeable in reading MRI's? More specifically the type of lesions that are associated with Neuro Lyme.
Thanks.

Give us the sentences from the MRI report and we can tell you what they mean.

I had 2 UBOs (unidentified bright objects) show up on mine years ago when I first got diagnosed. UBOs are areas of hypoperfusion. Lyme often causes that.

Often the report will call them "white matter lesions." But, they can be called various things.

Here are a few old posts that may help you:

Use the "Search" function near the top of the page and you can find many threads that discuss this.

Just type in "brain lesions" and select "Medical Questions."
