MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Most common disabling condition in young adultsMost common demyelinating disorderChronic disease of the CNSProgresses to disability in majority of casesUnpredictable course / variety of signs and symptoms; sometimes mistaken for psych dxCurrent theory favors immunologic pathogenesis

RESULTS OF DEMYELINATION
Conduction block at site of lesionSlower conduction time along affected nerveIncreased subjective feeling of fatigue secondary to compensation for neurologic deficits

DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA
2attacks with laboratory evidence but no clinical evidence = PROBABLE MS WITH LABORATORY SUPORT2 attacks without lab abnormalities = CLINICALLY PROBABLE MS2 attacks with clinical evidence and lab support = LAB SUPPORTED DEFINITE MS2 attacks with clinical evidence of at least 2 lesions = CLINICALLY DEFINITE MS
![Page 16: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Dr Mehran Homam Department of neurology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6c5503460f94a4bf84/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
TYPES OF MS
Benign – 10%Relapsing-remitting – 40%Primary progressive – 10%Secondary chronic progressive – 40% of patients with originally relapsing-remitting course
![Page 17: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Dr Mehran Homam Department of neurology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6c5503460f94a4bf84/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
Episodes of neurologic dysfunction followed by stabilization/remissionRelapses can be rapid or gradual onsetMay persist or resolve over weeks to monthsRelapsing-remitting pattern is most common in MS

LABORATORY FINDINGS
CSFEvoked potentialsMRIBlood and urine

CSF
Increased immunoglobulin concentration in >90% of patientsIgG index (CSF/serum) elevatedOligoclonal bands—85%Elevated protein—50%Modest increase in mononuclear cells

EVOKED POTENTIALS
VER (visual evoked response)—75% abnormal regardless of optic neuritis hxBAER (brainstem auditory evoked response)—30% abnormalSSER (somatosensory evoked response) – 80% abnormal Helps distinguish peripheral from
central lesions

MRI
**Caveat: ** Abnormal MRI without clinical evidence is not sufficient to confirm dx of MS……Absence of abnormal MRI in clinically definite MS doesn’t disprove diagnosis
![Page 24: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Dr Mehran Homam Department of neurology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6c5503460f94a4bf84/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
MRI FINDINGS
Patchy areas of white matter in paraventricular cerebral areasLesions in cerebellum/brainstem/ cervical and thoracic spinal cordGadolinium enhancement identifies active lesions Doesn’t correlate with increased
disease activity
![Page 25: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Dr Mehran Homam Department of neurology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6c5503460f94a4bf84/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
MRI – CONT’D
MRI is abnormal in: 90% of patients with definite MS 70% of patients with probable MS 30-50% of patients with possible MS
![Page 26: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Dr Mehran Homam Department of neurology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6c5503460f94a4bf84/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CRITERIA FOR MRI DIAGNOSIS OF MS
Lesions abutting central ventriclesLesions with diameter of >0.6 cmLesions in the posterior fossa
**poor correlation between size and area of lesions and patient’s disability**

BLOOD AND URINE TESTS
Unremarkable and nonspecificAttempts underway to identify myelin breakdown products in urineMonitor as indicated (suspected UTI / nephrotoxicity / medication side effects)
![Page 31: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Dr Mehran Homam Department of neurology](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6c5503460f94a4bf84/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
FAVORABLE PROGNOSTIC FACTORS
Female genderLow rate of relapses per yearComplete recovery from 1st attackLong interval between 1st and 2nd attackYounger age of onsetLater cerebellar involvementLow disability 2-5 years from dz onset
