"Stable" vs. "silent progressive multiple sclerosis": a real-world retrospective clinical imaging Brazilian study.

Among apparently "stable" relapsing-remitting MS patients, 1/5 showed significant brain atrophy over a follow-up period of at least 7 years. We consider it reasonable to suggest that MRI volume sequences should be included in follow-up protocols, so as to provide information on the real treatment response status.
