Abstract

Background and objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurodegenerative disease characterized by multiple focal areas of demyelination called plaques or lesions. The main aim of the study is to evaluate patients with multiple sclerosis disease using MRI technology and to emphasis the effectiveness of this technology in diagnosis of the disease. Methods: This study was conducted in order to better recognition and understanding of MS disorder using radiologic MRI techniques and the main problem is the increase prevalence among public population . The database registry was limited to hospitalized patients whom diagnosed with multiple sclerosis using MRI techniques and the population of the study was 80 participants their age elder than 16 years old in period from April to November 2020 .Normal condition or other neurological disorders were excluded. Results: The most important results obtained in this study is that it is possible to diagnose Multiple sclerosis patients in an accurate manner using magnetic resonance imaging technology. The outcome of variable detected prevalence of 80 samples 52.5% of them were male, and 47.5% were female and the big distribution group was 53% aged between 30-39 years. The obtained data also showed that the most affected brain region was periventricular matter with 30%, followed by the frontal lobe with 27.5%. clinical etiology big distribution data were achieved for vision Problems with percentage of 22.5 % followed by Dizziness & vertigo sensation with percentage of 18.7% The MRI techniques showed two appearance of MS lesions and plaques, the most distribution achieved for foci appearance with percentage of 75% and patchy appearance with 25% present. Conclusion: Although for many years there was awareness of the morbidity and mortality associated with Multiple sclerosis however real progress only comes with the ability to early diagnosis using MRI technology.

Highlights

  • Multiple sclerosis disease (MS) is the most common demyelinating and neurodegenerative chronic inflammatory disorder in middle East (MS) is a public health problem as it constitutes the second cause of neurological disability in young adults [1,2]

  • The (MRI) Magnetic resonance imaging is the most important clinical tool for the diagnosis of MS, it has developed into the most important tool for the diagnosis and monitoring for potential safety concerns associated with multiple sclerosis disease . [4] It has been recognized as a major advance and helpful in evaluation and establishing the diagnosis more than other radiological methods where the clinical diagnosis is not definite, MRI has become a powerful as safety assessment method in addition to the improvement of the technology and increased availability, the diagnostic criteria are based on the number and size of brain and spinal cord lesions adding to the location of it

  • Fourth type is Progressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS) which characterized by slowly worsening symptoms from the beginning with no relapses or remissions, it is a rare form of MS occurring in about 5% of people with MS .( 9, 10,11) .The improvements in MRI technology contribute and promise to better diagnosis for typical features were as example it can support and substitute clinical information in the diagnosis in patients presenting with a clinically isolated syndrome by showing disease dissemination in space and time and by helping to exclude disorders that can mimic multiple sclerosis. [12]. there are numerous studies supporting the role of MRI in diagnose and management of patients with MS. [12, 13, 14]

Introduction

Multiple sclerosis disease (MS) is the most common demyelinating and neurodegenerative chronic inflammatory disorder in middle East (MS) is a public health problem as it constitutes the second cause of neurological disability in young adults [1,2]. Fourth type is Progressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS) which characterized by slowly worsening symptoms from the beginning with no relapses or remissions , it is a rare form of MS occurring in about 5% of people with MS .( 9, 10 ,11) .The improvements in MRI technology contribute and promise to better diagnosis for typical features were as example it can support and substitute clinical information in the diagnosis in patients presenting with a clinically isolated syndrome by showing disease dissemination in space and time and by helping to exclude disorders that can mimic multiple sclerosis. Conclusion: for many years there was awareness of the morbidity and mortality associated with Multiple sclerosis real progress only comes with the ability to early diagnosis using MRI technology
