Article Synopsis
- Researchers are looking for better ways to diagnose multiple sclerosis (MS) because it's tough to identify it correctly.
- This study compared MRI scans from patients with Fabry disease and those with relapsing-remitting MS to see how common a sign called the central vein sign (CVS) is.
- The results showed that CVS is found in a lot of MS patients, especially those who are newly diagnosed, but it wasn't seen at all in Fabry disease patients, which suggests it could help diagnose MS better.
Purpose: Recent evidences have suggested the possible presence of an involvement of the extrapyramidal system in Fabry disease (FD), a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder. We aimed to investigate the microstructural integrity of the main tracts of the cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical loop in FD patients.
Methods: Forty-seven FD patients (mean age = 42.
