summary: In this multicentre study the authors aimed to investigate the prognostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed shortly after a first episode suggestive of MS. They found that the current MRI criteria for MS had a moderate predictive value for presenting a second episode suggestive of MS, the number of lesions and the periventricular location of such lesions being the two criteria with the strongest predictive value.
