Abstract

The new techniques identifying inactive clinical injury, as well as revealing immunological disturbances connected with the CNS, are very helpful for arriving at the correct diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. In their analysis the authors of the work include six cases and emphasize the great practical significance of magnetic resonance imaging and oligoclonal bands in the cerebrospinal fluid in making the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
