Iron-Rim Lesions in the Optic Chiasm in Multiple Sclerosis: A Neuropathologic Case Series.

Puntos clave

• To investigate the occurrence of iron-rim lesions in the anterior visual pathway of multiple sclerosis patients.
• Investigated mixed active/inactive MS lesions
• Utilized neuropathologic case series methodology
• Assessed the relationship between iron-rim lesions and paramagnetic rim lesions
• Iron-rim lesions were identified as common in the anterior visual pathway
• Number of paramagnetic rim lesions correlates with disability extent
• Challenges in detection of these lesions highlight the need for further research to address chronic inflammation
