White matter location? Peri ventricular?

[titus110]

My MRI never said where the white matter is located.

They found one lesion in the "right frontal white matter ". Is that peri ventricular??

no its not in the peri ventricular regions. I have one tiny lesion there too, i'm still undiagnosed.

Here's a good page discussing basic brain anatomy.

Here is a slice near the frontal lobe area of the brain.

The dark tissue around the edges is the grey matter and the lighter tissue in the middle is the white matter.

Here's a good MRI image showing the various lobes, white and grey matter, and the ventricles.
