Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is based on the demonstration of dissemination of lesions in space (DIS) and in time (DIT), as well as on the exclusion of an alternative neurologic disorder. As a paraclinical tool brain and/or spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), showing ...

Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis It can be hard to diagnose MS since its symptoms can be the same as those of many other nerve disorders. If your doctor thinks you have it, they’ll want you to see a specialist who treats the brain and nervous system, called aneurologist. They’ll ask you ...

Reports in Asian populations suggest that ethnic and geographical differences may influence susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) and its clinical behaviors. Here, we sought to retrospectively survey clinical characteristics and MRI data in Chinese s

Currently, patients with clinically isolated syn- drome (CIS) and brain lesions on MRI sugges- tive of multiple sclerosis (MS), are offered a con- firmatory MRI scan after 6 months. Researchers in Italy have found, however, that conversion to a diagnosis of MS based on MRI can be made...
There are two extremes in multiple sclerosis. The first is a "benign" syndrome in which patients have numerous lesions identified on MRI imaging, but have few -- if any -- symptoms, even decades after their diagnosis. At the opposite end of the spectrum is a condition identified as the Ma...
