| Summary: |
The diagnosis of multiple
sclerosis (MS), one of the major causes of
neurologic-based disability in young adults, is
challenging because of the heterogeneity of signs and
symptoms, many of which are not specific to MS, and
because there is no single test to verify MS. During the
last 40 years, the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis has
been aided by increasing knowledge of the natural
history and pathophysiology of the disease and by
technologic advances in clinical, laboratory and
radiologic testing. This report describes the evolution
of MS diagnostic guidelines for physician in clinical
practice with a focus on recent recommended criteria
from the year 2005, called “Revised McDonald Criteria”. |
