Figure 3.

Alcohol-related neurological condition or multiple sclerosis? The figure shows (in an oversimplified manner) our reasoning when handling this case. The flowchart has been enriched with general data (e.g., familiarity, cerebrospinal fluid analysis) that may be useful in similar cases. The left side of the figure summarizes the aspects that may suggest a diagnosis of neurological condition secondary to alcohol dependence. The right side shows the aspects soliciting a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. CSF: cerebrospinal fluid.
