In order to define the most suitable instrumental protocol for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), 41 patients with definite (D = 14), probable (P = 14) and suspected (S = 13) MS were examined with CSF immunology, brain MRI and multimodal evoked potentials. The central motor tracts were also tested. The following alteration rates were found: MRI = 78%, CSF = 63.6%, VEP = 70.0%, median nerve SEP = 50%, peroneal nerve SEP = 68.0%, BAEPs = 35.7%, motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) = 74.0%. Altogether, EPs were abnormal in 90% of cases. Normal MRI with altered EPs were found in 22% of cases, whilst a normal EP battery with defective CSF or MRI findings were found in 7%. Twenty-six out of 27 patients with P or S forms were reclassified into a D one when considering EPs and MRI features.
