MRI Features of Benign Multiple Sclerosis: Toward a New Definition of This Disease Phenotype Neurol 72:1693-1701, Rovaris,M.,et al, 2009 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract MRI-based evidence suggests that there are three potential, but not mutually exclusive, explanations for the scarce clinical impact of BMS: 1) the paucity of tissue damage within and outside MS lesions; 2) the relative sparing of clinically eloquent regions; and 3) the presence of effective compensatory mechanisms. In addition, the results of correlative MRI/neuropsychology studies underpin the need for a new definition of BMS, which should consider the maintenance of a normal cognitive profile as an additional criterion.
