Multiple sclerosis : clinical and laboratory research
-
Misdiagnosis is common in multiple sclerosis (MS) as a proportion of patients present with atypical clinical/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. The central vein sign has the potential to be a non-invasive, MS-specific biomarker. ⋯ The central vein sign assessed with a clinically available T2* scan can successfully diagnose MS in cases of diagnostic uncertainty. The central vein sign should be considered as a diagnostic biomarker in MS.
