Dawson's fingers

"Dawson's Fingers" is a condition affecting the brain of Multiple Sclerosis patients. The condition is the result of inflammation around long axis of medular veins. This results in a finger-like appearance of the lesions extending mainly off the ventricles within the brain.

This morphologic appearance is named after the Scottish pathologist James Walker Dawson, who first defined the condition in 1916.
