The impact of multiple sclerosis on the size and morphology of corpus callosum: an MRI-based retrospective study

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: The corpus callosum (CC) includes the majority of fibers linking the two brain hemispheres. Several cross sectional studies showed an association between callosal atrophy and malfunction and neurodegenerative diseases, which may play a role in their pathological manifestations. As a result, the ...

Regional brain atrophy is related to social cognition impairment in multiple sclerosis

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 79 (8), 2021
ABSTRACT Background: Multiple sclerosis exhibits specific neuropathological phenomena driving to both global and regional brain atrophy. At the clinical level, the disease is related to functional decline in cognitive domains as the working memory, processing speed, and verbal fluency. However, the comp...

Critical analysis on the present methods for brain volume measurements in multiple sclerosis

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (7), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective The treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) has quickly evolved from a time when controlling clinical relapses would suffice, to the present day, when complete disease control is expected. Measurement of brain volume is still at an early stage to be indicative of therapeutic decisions i...

Benign multiple sclerosis: aspects of cognition and neuroimaging

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (6), 2017
ABSTRACT The existence of a benign multiple sclerosis (BMS) form is a controversial subject. Recent studies of these patients reveal different levels of cognitive impairment, despite the apparent preservation of motor function. The objective of this study was to review and analyze a number of publication...

Disability and progression in Afro-descendant patients with multiple sclerosis

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 74 (10), 2016
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) prevalence is higher in Caucasian (CA) populations, narrowing the analysis of the impact of Afro-descendant (AD) populations in disease outcomes. Even so, recent studies observed that AD patients have a more severe course. The main objective of this study is to confirm an...

Atrofia cerebral en esclerosis múltiple: ¿llegó la hora de su uso en la práctica clínica?
Brain atrophy in multiple sclerosis: is the time of its use in clinical practice?

Brain atrophy in multiple sclerosis: therapeutic, cognitive and clinical impact

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 74 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) was always considered as a white matter inflammatory disease. Today, there is an important body of evidence that supports the hypothesis that gray matter involvement and the neurodegenerative mechanism are at least partially independent from inflammation. Gray matter atro...

Uso de volumetría y carga lesional en el seguimiento de pacientes con esclerosis múltiple: experiencia local y revisión de la literatura

Rev. chil. radiol; 19 (4), 2013
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common demyelinating disease that involves the central nervous system causing focal lesions in the brain and spinal cord causing diverse neurological development deficits, many of them severe and irreversible, affecting and invaliding a large percentage of young productive-ag...
