Normal-Appearing White Matter Changes Vary with Distance to Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis
[Abstract for the Medical Community: Vrenken et al. 27 (9): 2005 -- American Journal of Neuroradiology]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Multiple sclerosis (MS) disease processes in normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) may be different close to MR-visible lesions than farther from these lesions. We aimed to investigate the relationship of NAWM changes to the distance to the lesions.
CONCLUSION: Our results may suggest that axonal damage and demyelination in NAWM mainly arise as a secondary result of visible lesions, with the largest effect close to these lesions. NAWM disease farther from the lesions may be mainly characterized by subtle blood-brain barrier damage, with leakage of fibrinogen into the parenchyma and microplaque formation, processes that are detected with T1 but not with MTR....
