Developmental Venous Anomalies are More Common in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis and Clinically Isolated Syndrome

ConclusionA higher prevalence of DVAs was detected in CIS and early MS patients than reported in non-MS populations, congruent to recent literature. The DVAs were not associated with significantly altered clinical outcomes, brain atrophy rates or disease progression, and no associated higher risk of CIS patients for converting to MS was found.
