Does any form of Muscular dystrophy cause lesions in the brain useen with Multiple Sclerosis?


I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, nut Muscular Dystrophy runs very rampid on my mothers side. My mother was recently diagnosed with a form of MD and we share ALOT of the same pains and problems. Only I have a significant amount of lesions on my brain/

MS is different from muscular dystrophy (MD), which is a group of disorders that cause progressive and irreversible wasting away of muscle tissue. Although MD has some symptoms in common with MS鈥攕uch as weakness and problems with walking,MD affects the muscles directly while MS affects the central nervous system.
I don't believe that any of the types of MD involve lesions.
I don't know much about MD, but I have had MS for many years..MS is a very manageable disease so hang in there..

No, I don't believe so. I have done alot of research on MD as my boyfriend has MD (limb-girdle type) and I have never come across a form of MD which causes lesions.

MS is an auto-immune "neurological" disorder, whereas MD is a "neuromuscular" disorder. MD is straight muscle wasting, affecting different parts of the body depending on the type.
