    Computerized tomography (CT) revealed enlarged lateral ventricles in most multiple sclerosis patients. Lesions and cerebral atrophy correlated with disease severity and duration, linking CT findings to clinical symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease.
    • Understanding the radiological manifestations of MS is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the utility of computerized tomography (CT) in visualizing brain abnormalities in multiple sclerosis patients.
    • To correlate CT findings with clinical disease parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-three patients with multiple sclerosis underwent computerized tomography (CT) scans.
    • CT images were analyzed for enlarged lateral ventricles, low-density lesions (plaques), and cerebral atrophy.

    Main Results:

    • Enlarged lateral ventricles were observed in 13 out of 23 patients.

  • Periventricular low-density areas, suggestive of plaques, were present in 10 cases.
  • Cerebral atrophy correlated with longer disease duration, increased exacerbations, and greater disability.
  • Some low-density areas on CT scans showed correlation with clinical symptoms.

    • Conclusions:

    • Computerized tomography (CT) can identify significant brain changes in multiple sclerosis.
    • CT findings, including lesions and atrophy, are associated with disease progression and clinical disability in MS patients.
