Abstract
In this study, a retrospective comparison was made between 40 patients with an isolated spinal cord syndrome in whom an ultimate diagnosis of multiple sclerosis was made and 40 patients with a spinal cord syndrome due to other diseases. The results of the study indicate which anamnestic items and laboratory findings at the time of presentation can provide additional support for making a diagnosis in the individual patient with myelopathy without clinical evidence of supraspinal lesions.Keywords
