Overview
visual evoked potential studies and antimyelin antibodies may be helpful in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Visual evoked potential studies
Delay in response after stimulation of retina with light is an indicator of a problem in visual tracts due to axonal demyelination.[1] The indication of this test is when patient is not fulfilling MS criteria and is a probable MS case.[2][3]
Antimyelin antibodies
myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and myelin basic protein (MBP) thought to be a predictor of disease progression but some studies denied any relationship between these auto antibodies and disease severity or progression.[4][5][6][7]
Optimal coherence tomography
optimal coherence tomography of the retina can be helpful in diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.[8]
