Revision as of 04:48, 20 March 2018

Radiologically isolated syndrom (RIS) is a clinical situation where a patient has white matter lesions suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS) as shown on an incidental MRI. The lesions in patients show dissemination in space with an otherwise normal neurological examination and without historical accounts of typical MS symptoms.[1] This condition was first characterized in 2009.[2] MRI findings that are consistent with multiple sclerosis have been observed in healthy people who underwent scanning and 50% go on to develop MS, sometimes with a primary progressive course.[3][4]

Naming

The acronym RIS was coined in 2009 by Okuda and colleagues. An alternative name by Siva and colleagues suggested radiologically uncovered asymptomatic possible inflammatory-demyelinating disease (RAPIDD).[5][6]

Discovery

The most common symptom that is due to the incidental discovery of RIS, is headache, followed by trauma, psychiatric disorders, and endocrinological disorders.[5]

Diagnosis

The criteria for an RIS diagnosis[7][8][5] are as follows:

  1. The presence of incidental MRI findings in the CNS white matter:
    1. Ovoid and well-circumscribed homogenous foci with or without involvement of the corpus callosum
    2. T2 hyperintensities larger than 3 mm in diameter, which fulfill at least 3 of the 4 Barkhof MRI criteria[9] for DIS
    3. the CNS abnormalities are not consistent with a vascular condition
  2. No historical accounts of clinical symptoms consistent with neurological dysfunction
  3. MRI anomalies do not account for apparent impairment in social, occupational, or generalized areas of functioning
  4. MRI anomalies are not due to substance abuse, such as recreational drug use, toxic exposure, or a prior known medical condition
  5. Exclusion of a differential diagnosis of leukoaraiosis, or extensive white matter pathology excluding the corpus callosum
  6. MRI anomalies of the CNS are not accoutned for by another disease

Follow up

Currently, routine clinical follow-up and MRI neuroimaging surveillance is the standard by which patients are observed.[10] While treatment of MS disease modifying therapies have been given to some individuals with RIS, the majority opt for subsequent follow ups or appearance of clinical symptoms before commencing treatment,[5] as treatment is considered controversial.[11]

Prognosis

In a 5 year study, clinical events indicative of MS appeared in 34% of individuals. Of those who developed symptoms, 9.6% fullfilled criteria for PPMS.[12]

Epidemiology

Due to the incidental nature of RIS, exact figures on prevalence is unknown, though it has been suggested that RIS is the most common type of asymptomatic MS,[13] though prevalence may be higher in relatives of patients with MS.[14] One study at a university hospital located in a high region of MS disease incidence, put the disease prevalence to approximately 1 in 2000.[15] An earlier study in 1961 of 15,644 autopsies found 12 cases (0.08%) of unexpected MS findings without a previous history of MS symptoms.[5][16] The mean age of first indication of RIS from 451 patients is 37.2 years.[17]

Research directions

Current studies have been noted in being short in study duration, and so longer prospective studies, tracking the development of potential disease progression over a longer period of time are warranted. This will ensure the current criteria in RIS is satisfactory and whether consideration should be given to treating individuals with RIS on current MS medication.[5][9]

RIS in children

Though rare, some children that have had unrelated MRI scans have been shown with signs of RIS. The most common reason for an initial MRI in these children was the occurrence of a headache. The first occurrence of a clinical event in nearly half of the children examined was 2 years, though in a majority of cases, 'radiologic evolution', i.e. the increase in lesions or size as detected in subsequent MRI, developed after one year. The presence of oligoclonal bands in the CSF and spinal cord lesions were associated with an increased risk of a first clinical event. It was found that children with RIS had a substantial risk of subsequent clinical symptoms and/or radiologic evolution.[18]
