Journal ArticleDOI
EFNS guidelines on the use of neuroimaging in the management of multiple sclerosis
Massimo Filippi,Maria A. Rocca,Douglas L. Arnold,Rohit Bakshi,Frederik Barkhof,N. De Stefano,Franz Fazekas,Elliot M. Frohman,Jerry S. Wolinsky +8 more
TL;DR: These guidelines are intended to assist in the use of conventional MRI for the diagnosis and longitudinal monitoring of patients with MS and should provide a foundation for the development of more widespread but rational clinical applications of non‐conventional MR‐based techniques in studies of MS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional correlates of cognitive dysfunction in multiple sclerosis: A multicenter fMRI Study.
Maria A. Rocca,Paola Valsasina,Hanneke E. Hulst,Khaled Abdel-Aziz,Christian Enzinger,Antonio Gallo,Debora Pareto,Gianna C Riccitelli,Nils Muhlert,Olga Ciccarelli,Frederik Barkhof,Franz Fazekas,Gioacchino Tedeschi,María Jesús Arévalo,Massimo Filippi +14 more
TL;DR: This multicenter study supports the theory that a preserved fMRI activity of the frontal lobe is associated with a better cognitive profile in MS patients and indicates the feasibility of fMRI to monitor disease evolution and treatment effects in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional and Structural Connectivity of the Motor Network in Pediatric and Adult-Onset Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Maria A. Rocca,Martina Absinta,Lucia Moiola,Angelo Ghezzi,Bruno Colombo,Vittorio Martinelli,Giancarlo Comi,Massimo Filippi +7 more
TL;DR: The preservation of brain adaptive properties might explain the favorable medium-term clinical outcome of pediatric MS patients and the progressive recruitment of cortical networks over time in patients with the adult RR forms of the disease, thus possibly contributing to subsequent disease evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hippocampal and deep gray matter nuclei atrophy is relevant for explaining cognitive impairment in MS: A multicenter study
Dusan Damjanovic,Paola Valsasina,Maria A. Rocca,M. L. Stromillo,Antonio Gallo,Christian Enzinger,Hanneke E. Hulst,Alex Rovira,Nils Muhlert,N. De Stefano,Alvino Bisecco,Franz Fazekas,María Jesús Arévalo,Tarek A. Yousry,Massimo Filippi +14 more
TL;DR: Hippocampal and deep GM nuclei atrophy were the best predictors of cognitive impairment, while WM atrophy was the best predictor of disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural brain MRI abnormalities in pediatric patients with migraine
TL;DR: Results show that GM morphometric abnormalities do occur in pediatric patients with migraine, and suggest that they may represent a phenotypic biomarker of this condition.
