Differential diagnosis of common symptoms in ambulation of general neurologist
- Neurologická klinika LF MU a FN Brno
Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) requires exclusion of other neurological diseases that can clinically and radiologically mimicMS. Typical features of the first relapse of MS are unilateral optic neuritis, brainstem or cerebellar syndromes, partial spinal lesions.In the presence of atypical signs, red flags, more tests must be done for exclusion of other diseases. With the presentation of threeclinical cases of patients with suspicion of MS, this article shows some diagnoses that can mimic MS. Cases show importance ofcooperation with ophthalmologist. This article also shows importance of early diagnoses of MS for patient's prognoses and hisother therapeutic options.
