[Abstract] Objective: To investigate some MRI signs of the multiple sclerosis and review the literature, so as to elevate the rate of correct diagnosis.Materials and Methods: A total of 41 subjects with final diagnosis of multiple sclerosis were selected between January 2009 and March 2011 as case group. The sex ratio was 18 males to 23 females. The age ranged from 11 to 52 years old, and the course of disease was from one month to five years. All the patients underwent MRI examination.Results: In addition to conventional imaging manifestations, the multiple sclerosis often presented ice-melting sign, plaster sign, tree sign, path sign, horn sign and converse comma sign.Conclusion: These signs of multiple sclerosis have important value for the correct diagnosis.
