summary: It is known that the time between the first and the second episodes suggestive of MS has proved to have long-term prognostic implications. Therefore, the authors aimed to investigate which factors, from the clinical and the MRI point of view, have the strongest influence in this time period between the first and the second episodes, when the first episode consists of optic neuritis. They found that the presence of new T2 lesions on an early follow-up scan was the strongest predictor of an earlier appearance of a second episode.
