Clinical and diagnostic aspects of multiple sclerosis and acute monophasic encephalomyelitis in pediatric patients: a single centre prospective study

Abstract

Our findings depict a pattern of demographic, clinical, neuroimaging, and laboratory findings that can help to distinguish, at clinical onset, children suffering from ADEM from those who will develop MS. Childhood-onset MS seems not to differ from adult-onset MS from both clinical and paraclinical features.
