SUMMARY
1. Abnormalities of multiple sclerosis (MS) can be located entirely in the cervical spinal cord without brain involvement.
2. Spinal cord MS plaques are peripherally located, are less than two vertebral segments in length, and occupy less than half the cross-sectional area of the cord.
3. If MS is suspected, then an MRI of the neuraxis (brain and whole spine) is required and the McDonald criteria is used to evaluate such lesions.
