Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting the brain and spinal cord. Despite significant advances in treatment modalities the prognosis of this patient population is still poor. New Updates on Clinical Aspects of Multiple Sclerosis reviews the clinical guidelines for diagnosis and treatment management for both pediatric and adult patients with Multiple sclerosis (MS). Multiple chapters present the various subtypes of MS in a case-based format, providing readers with the presentation of differential diagnosis. This book will also review the advancements in methods of assessing demyelinating plaques including, 7T MRI, DTI, PET, and MR spectroscopy. Multi-contributed, this book will become the essential guide for anyone in the field of MS
