Evaluating the Association between Enlarged Perivascular Spaces and Disease Worsening in Multiple Sclerosis

CONCLUSIONSOur preliminary findings from a relatively small study sample argue against a potential use of EPVS as early indicator of risk for disease worsening in relapsing‐remitting MS patients in a clinical setting. Although the small sample size and clinical 1.5T MRI may have limited our ability to detect a significant effect, we provided estimates of the association of EPVS with clinical and MRI indicators of disease worsening in a well‐characterized cohort of MS patients.
