title: [Multiple sclerosis: positive diagnosis].
abstract: The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is based on the dissemination in time and space of inflammatory central nervous system episodes. The recently proposed criteria for MS include MRI data as a possible definition of this dissemination. These new criteria make possible a very early diagnosis of MS.
