The Differential Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis
JNNP 71(suppl II):ii9-ii15, Scolding, N., 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The absence of diagnostic tests means that uncertainty can be extremely difficult to resolve. MRI, spinal fluid examination, and evoked potential recordings are sensitive tests for MS but do not have comparable specificity. The range of disorders that can mimic MS is vast; as the prototypical inflammatory demyelinating disorder, it may be confused with both unrelated demyelinating diseases (metabolic or inherited) and unrelated inflammatory disease; additionally, diseases which are directly related to MS must also be considered.
