title: [Multiple sclerosis: correlation between clinically suspected locations and ascertained lesions in MRI].
abstract: The neurological symptoms of patients with multiple sclerosis are located to four brain areas and are compared with the demonstrated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) lesions. Areas mostly involved are the centrum semiovale, the periventricular space, the cerebellum and the brain stem. There is a good correlation of the different clinical locations and the MRI lesions in general. Only in the cerebrum lesions are more frequent than expected. In individual patients correlations are difficult to achieve especially in the cerebellum and the spinal cord. Repeated, complete studies of the brain and the spinal cord with contrast medium are necessary to improve the results.
