Does Punctuate Foci With M.S As Recurrent Seizures Suggest A Stroke?

I recently was admited into hosp and my mri shows punctate foci of high t2 signal intensity seen involving the frontal white matter perhaps representing microvascular ischemic change. I have m.s. These are all new symptoms but they discharged me three days later with m.s., recurrent seizures diagnosis. Don t see a neuro till end of the month. Family members are convinced I had a stroke. Do you think thats possible and I should push for an earlier appointment?

Hi dear,
if possible you should push for earlier appointment if not get earlier appointment then consult physician for the micro vascular ischemic changes and seizure phenomena.
whether you are pts of hypertension or diabetes?
is there any head injury?
MRI abnormality may be the cause for seizure activity.
consult physician and if possible do visit at neurologist.
Thank you
