Transitional progressive multiple sclerosis: a clinical and imaging study.
OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence and the natural course of transitional progressive multiple sclerosis (TPMS). This clinical form is defined by a progressive course beginning many years after an isolated bout. METHODS 214 consecutive outpatients with definite or probable multiple sclerosis were studied. The prevalence of TPMS was established. Patients with TPMS were compared with patients wi...
متن کاملCognitive function in primary progressive and transitional progressive multiple sclerosis: a controlled study with MRI correlates.
The relative rarity of primary progressive (PP) and transitional progressive (TP) multiple sclerosis has meant that little documentation of cognitive function in such patients is currently available. The aim of this study was to investigate the cognitive skills of patients with PP and TP multiple sclerosis relative to matched healthy controls, and to examine the relationship of this impairment ...
متن کاملUnderstanding Progression in Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: a longitudinal clinical and magnetic resonance imaging study
The work in this thesis applies magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) and conventional MRI measures (brain volume, T2 lesion load and enhancing lesions) to investigate the mechanisms underlying progression in primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), and identifies MR markers to predict and monitor progression. First, we demonstrated that MTI was sensitive to change in the normal appearing ...
متن کاملOne year follow up study of primary and transitional progressive multiple sclerosis
Objective—To document clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of a large cohort of primary and transitional progressive multiple sclerosis (PP and TP MS) patients over one year. Introduction—Patients with PP or TP MS have been shown to have low brain T2 and T1 lesion loads and slow rates of new lesion formation with minimal gadolinium enhancement, despite their accumulatin...
متن کاملTwo-year follow-up study of primary and transitional progressive multiple sclerosis.
This study documents changes in clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics in a large cohort of patients with primary and transitional progressive multiple sclerosis (PP and TPMS) over 2 years. Patients with PPMS and TPMS were recruited from six European centres and underwent clinical and MRI examination at three time points: baseline, year one and year two. Of the 190 patien...
