“…A demyelinating pattern was seen in the remainder, of which two‐thirds had anti‐myelin‐associated glycoprotein (anti‐MAG) antibodies, and one‐third had chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy . The 2 patients with neurolymphomatosis in Viala's series and the 6 previously reported cases had clinical presentations different from our patient; they had enhancing cauda equina masses on magnetic resonance imaging and CSF lymphocytosis. Our patient, by contrast, had typical clinical features of CANOMAD.…”

“…Case reports of patients developing cranial neuropathies during treatment or many years into the illness have been described, probably due to different pathogenic mechanisms involved. Sutter et al, have documented a case of WM with double vision, and bulbar palsy, and attributed it to the progression of disease due to meningeal infiltration [ 7 ]. Klokkevold et al, have reported a 43 years old lady with 7 years of WM on treatment with mental nerve involvement [ 8 ].…”

“…Both questions do speak to problems with calculation, but the PASAT performance measure is actually testing attention and concentration functions. In addition, there is some question about how accurate self-report can be regarding cognitive change [18]– can a person with MS accurately gauge his or her own cognitive changes, when s/he is having cognitive changes? However, even if individuals experiencing changes in cognitive function cannot accurately report or quantify the changes, self-reports offer a complement to performance tests as a measure of how aware a person with MS is of the cognitive changes that are taking place, and if cognitive ability to sense one’s own condition is being affected by the MS.…”

Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating, progressive disease with no known cure. Symptoms vary widely for persons with MS and measuring levels of fine motor, gross motor and cognitive function is a large part of assessing disease progression in both clinical and research settings. While self-report measures of function have advantages in cost and ease of administration, questions remain about the accuracy of such measures and the relationship of self-reports of functioning to performance measures of function. Objective The purpose of this study was to compare scores on a self-report measure of functional limitations with MS with a performance-based measure at five different time points. Methods Sixty participants in an ongoing longitudinal study completed two measures of function annually over a five-year period - the self-report Incapacity Status Scale and the MS Functional Composite (MSFC), a performance test. Pearson correlations were used to explore the association of self-report and performance scores. Results There were moderate to strong correlations among the ISS total (r= −.53 to −.63, p<.01) and subscale scores of gross (r=.79 to .87; p<.01)) and fine (r= .47 to .69; p<.01) motor function and the corresponding MSFC performance measure. The pattern of change over time in most scores on self-report and performance measures was similar. Conclusion Findings suggest that the self-report measure examined here, which has advantages in terms of feasibility of administration and patient burden, does relate to performance measurement, particularly in the area of gross motor function, but it may not adequately reflect cognitive function.
