McDonald 2010 criteria for diagnosis of MS Clinical Presentation 2 attacks with objective clinical evidence of 2 lesions, or objective clinical evidence of 1 lesion and reasonable historical evidence for a prior attack 2 attacks with objective clinical evidence of one lesion 1 attack with objective clinical evidence of 2 lesions 1 attack with objective clinical evidence of 1 lesion Insidious onset suggestive of primary progressive MS Additional data needed to diagnose MS None Dissemination in space on MRI criteria a Dissemination in time on MRI criteria b Dissemination in space a and time b on MRI criteria 1 year of progression, with 2 of: Evidence for dissemination in space in the brain on MRI a Evidence for dissemination in space in the spinal cord on MRI a Positive oligoclonal bands on CSF a Dissemination in space is demonstrated by lesions in 2 of the following characteristic areas: periventricular, juxtacortical, infratentorial and spinal cord b Dissemination in time is demonstrated either by simultaneous presence of gadolinium-enhancing and non-enhancing lesions, or by new T2 lesions or gadolinium-enhancing lesions on a followup scan after an interval of at least a month CH Polman, SC Reingold, B Banwell et al.
