Current Differential Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis
The diseases that are likely to be misdiagnosed as MS, can be grouped as follows: Diseases that cause multiple CNS lesions, even characterized by a remitent-exacerbating course; Systemic CNS diseases that frequently cause lesions to separate nerve axis segments, but with regular, usually symmetrical events and progressive course; CNS lesions with remitend-exacerbating course; CNS lesions with progressive course; Monosymptomatic manifestation of MS; Somatization disorders. The current methods of neuroimaging, evoked potentials and cerebrospinal fluid immunology restrict the possibility of erroneous MS diagnosis. However, none of these procedures is specific. History data and or clinical evidence of dissemination of CNS lesions in time and space remain the key elements for a physician to make positive conclusions on the diagnosis of MS. Neuroepidemiologic and clinical studies of MS in Croatia have shown the percentage of erroneous diagnosis of MS to be higher, i.e. about 35 percent. Only the diagnosis of clinically deffinite and laboratory supported MS allows proper treatment of MS patients and prevents the risk of the results of neuroepidemiologic studies and clinical trials on the disease to be loaded with erroneous and unreliable data.
