A 20-year-old female patient with MS and recurrent bouts of clinical symptoms (attacks of blurring of vision), with EDSS score of 2.5 and SDMT of 21. a Axial FLAIR showing irregular patchy areas and foci (plaques) of abnormal white matter high FLAIR and T2 signal intensity are seen implicating both cerebral periventricular and subcortical regions. b Axial DIR at the same level showing a left frontal cortical lesion being hardly identified on FLAIR imaging. c Axial FLAIR and d axial DIR at the same level of (c) showing left insular cortical lesion as well as right insular juxtacortical lesions are detected on DIR. The total number of cortical lesions detected in this case was (9 for DIR and 2 for FLAIR) and juxtacortical lesions (5 for DIR and 3 for FLAIR)
