Spinal cord lesions are frequently asymptomatic in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: a retrospective MRI survey.

A substantial proportion of our patients had SC-CUA without clinical symptoms and/or without concomitant brain MRI activity. In these patients, SC-CUA was the only sign of disease activity, suggesting that regular SC-MRI follow-up is required for reliable assessment of radiological activity and may improve the management of patients with MS.
