Original Source: The Radiologically Isolated Syndrome: Look (Again) Before You Treat.
The advent and wide use of magnetic resonance brain imaging has led to in the unexpected detection of lesions that appear typical of multiple sclerosis (MS) in otherwise asymptomatic patients. Several cohorts of patients with the "radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS)" have been studied mainly retrospectively, and a proportion of them do go on to have clinical symptoms of MS. This has led to the not infrequent clinical conundrum of whether or not to treat patients with MRI lesions suggestive of MS, given t...
