In this keynote lecture at the Belgian MS Symposium 2025, Pietro Maggi discussed how advanced MRI biomarkers have been integrated into the upcoming 2024 revisions of the McDonald diagnostic criteria for Multiple Sclerosis.
Key Insights from the Webinar:
These revisions aim to improve diagnostic precision and reduce misdiagnosis, particularly in early or atypical cases. Among the most significant updates are:
Optic nerve involvement — now recognized as a fifth anatomical location for demonstrating dissemination in space (DIS), supported by MRI, visual evoked potentials (VEP), and optical...
This recording will help you refine your MS diagnostic skills with Christine Lebrun-Frenay led-insights on the 2024 McDonald criteria and practical tools for confident early detection.
Key Insights from the Webinar
The 2024 McDonald revision refines diagnostic clarity in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) while maintaining strong continuity with the 2017 criteria. The update aims to support earlier, more confident diagnosis, particularly for asymptomatic or preclinical cases, and to reduce over-diagnosis in patients with vascular or migraine-related MRI findings. The session highlights how these...
This webinar provides a comprehensive and practical overview of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), with a focus on differential diagnosis, pathophysiology, biomarkers, and evolving treatment strategies.
