AI Article Synopsis
- The study tracked two women with multiple sclerosis (MS) throughout their pregnancy using unenhanced MR imaging.
- Both women experienced fewer new or enlarging lesions during the second half of pregnancy, indicating reduced disease activity.
- After giving birth, their MR disease activity returned to levels seen before pregnancy within the first few months postpartum, reinforcing the idea that pregnancy can decrease MS activity.
Article Abstract
We followed two women with MS during pregnancy by means of serial unenhanced MR imaging. On each follow-up image, we assessed the number of new or enlarging lesions. Both women showed a decrease in MR disease activity during the second half of pregnancy and a return of MR disease activity to prepregnancy levels in the first months postpartum. These findings support the view that pregnancy reduces disease activity in MS.
