We present a case of cerebellar tumoral multiple sclerosis in an 11-year-old girl and emphasize these two features: (1) Tumoral multiple sclerosis can occur within the posterior fossa and should be strongly considered in the differential diagnosis of mass lesions of the posterior fossa when typical white matter lesions are seen on T2-weighted images. (2) Tumoral multiple sclerosis can demonstra...

BACKGROUND Cortical disease has emerged as a critical aspect of the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis, being associated with disease progression and cognitive impairment. Most studies of cortical lesions have focused on autopsy findings in patients with long-standing, chronic, progressive multiple sclerosis, and the noninflammatory nature of these lesions has been emphasized. Magnetic resonanc...

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system which results in formation focal convergent lesions primary demyelination white and gray matter brain to spread damage neurodegeneration [1].

Background: We clinically evaluated the quality of white matter lesions (WML) cerebrum on 3D inversion recovery ultrashort echo time (IR-UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.

A middle aged female from Northern India, presented to the Outpatient department with cutaneous lesions typical of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) without intellectual disability. She had multiple skin which are enlisted below:

conclusions the current study adds evidence to the association of tnf-α gene polymorphism and ms in this southern south iranian population which is consistent with the genetic analysis of ms in europeans (games) project reports and these two alleles reported in this study may be one of the genetic risk factor for ms. furthermore, this data can be used to build the iranian gene bank for future s...

background: the clinical course of multiple sclerosis (ms) evolves over many years. its prognosis is highly variable among affected individuals, i.e. while some suffer from early severe disabilities, others remain ambulatory and functional for many years. we used multiple sclerosis severity score (msss) and the new classification for ms severity herbert et al. introduced in 2006 according to ms...

Remyelination is in the center of new therapies for the treatment of multiple sclerosis to resolve and improve disease symptoms and protect axons from further damage. Although remyelination is considered beneficial in the long term, it is not known, whether this is also the case early in lesion formation. Additionally, the precise timing of acute axonal damage and remyelination has not been ass...

We used a surface-based analysis of T2* relaxation rates at 7 T magnetic resonance imaging, which allows sampling quantitative T2* throughout the cortical width, to map in vivo the spatial distribution of intracortical pathology in multiple sclerosis. Ultra-high resolution quantitative T2* maps were obtained in 10 subjects with clinically isolated syndrome/early multiple sclerosis (≤ 3 years di...
