Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterised by immune-mediated demyelination, and is a leading cause of neurological disability worldwide. It has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations which overlap with other neurological conditions many times. Further, the radiological array of findings in MS can also be confused for multiple other conditions, leading to the need to look for the more typical findings, and interpret these in close conjunction with the clinical picture including temporal evolution. This review aims to revisit the MRI findings in MS, including recent innovations in imaging, and to help distinguish MS from its mimics.
多发性硬化症(MS)是一种中枢神经系统的慢性炎症性疾病,其特征为免疫介导的脱髓鞘,是全球神经功能障碍的主要原因。它有广泛的临床表现,多次与其他神经系统疾病重叠。此外,MS的一系列影像学表现也可能与许多其他疾病相混淆,这就需要寻找更典型的表现,并结合包括时间演变在内的临床情况对这些表现进行解读。本综述旨在重新审视MS的MRI表现,包括影像学的最新创新,并帮助将MS与其模仿疾病区分开来。
