Overview
Differentiating multiple sclerosis from other diseases
Multiple sclerosis must be differentiated from other diseases that can mimic this disease clinically or radiologically such as:
Systemic immune-mediated diseases:
- systemic lupus erythematosus
- Behçet’s disease
- sarcoidosis
Noninflammatory vascular syndromes:
- Binswanger’s disease
- Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarct and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL)
- Mitochondrial encephalopathies
Other demyelinating diseases:
- Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
- Neuromyelitis optica (NMO)
- Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM)
Infectious Diseases:
- Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)
- Human T-Cell leukemia virus 1 (HTLV1) Infection
- Lyme disease
Metabolic diseases
- Leukodystrophies
