A Longitudinal Study of Brain Atrophy in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis Neurol 53:139-148, Simon,J.H.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract In patients with relapsing MS and only mild to moderate disability, significant cerebral atrophy is already developing that can be measured over periods of only 1 to 2 years. The course of cerebral atrophy in MS appears to be influenced by prior inflammatory disease activity as indicated by the presence of enhancing lesions. Brain atrophy measures are important markers of MS disease progression because they likely reflect destructive and irreversible pathologic processes.
