Brain lesions

Brain lesions are areas of damage or abnormality in the brain tissue, caused by factors like strokes, trauma, infections, tumors, or multiple sclerosis. They disrupt normal brain function depending on their location and size, potentially affecting movement, speech, memory, or sensation. Imaging tests, such as MRI or CT scans, help identify these lesions. Treatment varies based on the cause, aiming to reduce symptoms and prevent further damage. Understanding brain lesions is important for diagnosing and managing neurological conditions effectively.
