McDonald Criteria for Multiple Sclerosis (2017 Revision)
Diagnoses multiple sclerosis.
INSTRUCTIONS
Changes from the 2010 McDonald Criteria:
-
Presence of CSF-specific oligoclonal bands may now substitute for dissemination in time (DIT) even if baseline MRI findings do not meet DIT criteria.
-
In patients with brainstem or spinal cord attacks, symptomatic lesions may now be included as MRI evidence of dissemination in space (DIS) or DIT.
-
Cortical lesions may now fulfill MRI criteria for DIS (in addition to juxtacortical lesions).
