Participants should appreciate the following controversies: whether MS can be diagnosed in a presymptomatic state; whether vitamin D deficiency is relevant to susceptibility to MS; whether immunotherapy is appropriate for patients with progressive forms of MS; the risks of mitoxantrone and whether they are justified; and whether fatigue is best managed with stimulant drugs or alternative approaches. Participants should have enhanced understanding of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for common and unusual CNS demyelinating diseases.
