Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Other Techniques in the Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Of The Brain Of Children With Multiple Sclerosis

“…(CT) is of particular importance and is E 3 diagnostic certainty in cases of suspected MS. Previous reports on MRI findings for adults suffering from MS confirm this expectation (Gebarski et al 1985, Kirshner et al 1985, Sheldon et al 1985.…”

“…Moreover, none of our patients had a history of adverse perinatal events that positive for 85 per cent, evoked potentials for 79 per cent, CSF analysis for 74 per cent and CT for only 25 per cent. In another study by Kirshner et al (1985), positive MRI findings were obtained for all adult patients with definite MS, according to the criteria of McAlpine el al. (1972) and of McDonald and Halliday (1977).…”

Neuromyelitis optica

“…MRI has been accepted as a useful modality to detect lesions in the brain and spinal cord in MS [11,12]. STIR, special MRI sequences to suppress the high signal from fat, enables us to define foci of abnormal signals in cases of op tic nerve disorders [13][14][15], At the time o f onset, our patient showed an abnormal high-intensity signal in the left optic nerve by STIR se quence, consistent with optic neuritis, without any findings in the CNS.…”

Sensory (VEP, BAEP, SEP) and Motor-Evoked Potentials, Liquoral and Magnetic Resonance Findings in Multiple Sclerosis

“…The introduction of labo ratory tests as CSF immunology, evoked potentials and, more recently, MRI has permitted to unveil clinically silent lesions and therefore to release a relatively prompt diagnosis. Since its introduction, MRI has resulted in having a high sensitivity for white matter alterations [Young et al, 1981[Young et al, , 1983, mainly for those districts poorly resolved with CT scan like the brainstem and the cerebellum [Kirshner et al, 1985;Edwards el al., 1986]. The rate of MRI abnormalities found in this study is similar to that reported in recent investigations [Scotti et al, 1986;Edwards et al, 1986;Cutler et al, 1986] and approaches the one reached by multimodal evoked po tentials.…”
