Who else has severe vertigo that has prevented getting an MRI? The new McDonald criteria define optic nerve lesions on OCT or VEP as relevant. Who has experience with this?
I haven’t personally had vertigo severe enough to prevent getting an MRI, but I know that’s a real issue for some people.
From what I’ve been reading, the updated McDonald criteria now include the optic nerve as a fifth area for MS diagnosis, and OCT or VEP can be used to show lesions there. So in some cases, those tests can help support a diagnosis when MRI is limited or incomplete.
