    Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system related to the processes of demyelination and neurodegeneration. Recent studies report that 43-65 % of patients with MS have cognitive impairment. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship of cognitive disorders with brain atrophy with the help of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The atrophy degree was assessed by brain MRI results with the further calculation of internuclear index. Thus, we have examined 25 patients with MS and low levels of disability (EDSS <4.0) and 25 healthy controls using a battery of neuropsychological testsandMRI-evaluated internuclear index. Although cognitive disprders were revealed in 40% of MS patients, there was poor relationship reported between MRI-internuclear index abnormalities and the degree of cognitive disorder.

    Key words: multiple sclerosis, cognitive disorder, magnetic resonance imaging, internuclear index.
