Abstract

The article discusses the results of MRI studies of changes in the brain in patients with SPMS. In addition to changes in subcortical structures, atrophy of certain areas of the cortex of the large hemispheres was revealed at patients with SPMS, including the central gyrus, cortex of the frontal and parietal lobes, cingulate and occipital gyri, as well as part of the parietal cortex. In patients with SPMS, atrophy of the cortex of the frontal and parietal lobes was the most significant, with a predominant lesion in the left hemisphere of the brain.
