Cerebral MRI and CT findings were compared with various cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) parameters and clinical features in 75 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). There were positive correlations between CSF albumin as a parameter of blood-brain barrier function and morphological parameters, namely the...
