Ressonância magnética no diagnóstico de esclerose múltipla

Abstract

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease of autoimmune character that compromises the lipid structure of neurons called myelin sheath, causing the nterruption of information between the nervous system and other body structures. These myereinized neurons have a wide distribution of both brain and medullary, causing a variation in clinical symptomatology and hindering their diagnosis. Therefore, the MS diagnosis protocol lists the tests that are necessary to identify this disease by dividing them into exclusion criteria that include laboratoryThus, the present study strengthens the importance of MRI in mapping brain/medullary areas with morphology altered by MS, through a review of exploratory narrative nature of qualitative/descriptive approach to radiographic images, based on data from the Scielo, Pubmed, Google Scholar platforms, and within the parameters established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Brazilian Association of Multiple Sclerosis (ABEM). Believing that this study strengthened understandings about MS, it was concluded that MRI associated with excluding tests is the most efficient and effective procedure for solving the diagnosis of this disease. tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is questionable by some scientists.
