summary: The authors of this article aimed to investigate MRI factors involved in a higher risk of development of MS after an episode of optic neuritis in children. The risk of MS significantly increased in children with at least one lesion seen on a brain MRI performed during the episode of optic neuritis. Children with normal scans had a very low risk of developing MS.
