Whenever MRI imaging depicts typical small, ovoid, well-circumscribed T2 hyperintense lesions scattered across periventricular, iuxtacortical and infratentorial white matter along with a clinical scenario highly suggestive of inflammatory-demyelinating disease of CNS (CNS IID), multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis is straightforward. Nevertheless, the expanding role of MRI in MS evaluation is para...
