Clinical, MRI, laboratory, and immunological data were reviewed. Group comparisons were performed using non-parametric tests. Relapse predictors were explored using penalized logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 26 patients were included (mean age 13.2\u2009\u00b1\u20093.2 years; 14 male). Optic neuritis was the most common presentation (57.7%). During a mean follow-up of 1.28\u2009\u00b1\u20091.31 years, 30.8% were diagnosed with MS. Relapse occurred in 42% of patients and differed significantly across diagnostic groups (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). EDSS scores improved significantly at 3 months (mean reduction 1.79\u2009\u00b1\u20090.92; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). NMO\/MOG seropositivity was associated with final diagnosis (p\u2009=\u20090.015). Oligoclonal band positivity showed an increased odds ratio for relapse (OR 7.22) but was not statistically significant. No independent relapse predictors were identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Approximately one-third of pediatric CIS patients converted to MS. Relapse patterns differed across diagnostic groups. Although immunological markers may indicate increased relapse risk, larger prospective studies are required to define independent predictors of MS conversion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2883-3398","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]],"date-time":"2026-06-09T22:40:16Z","timestamp":1781044816000},"page":"267-272","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Clinical, Radiological, and Prognostic Features of Pediatric Clinically Isolated Syndrome and Risk of Conversion to Multiple Sclerosis: A Single-center Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"57","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1822-3777","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c7isil","family":"\u00c7er\u00e7i Kubur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manisa Celal Bayar University, Turkey","place":["Manisa"],"department":["Department of Pediatric Neurology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beyhan","family":"Cengiz \u00d6zyurt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manisa Celal Bayar University, Turkey","place":["Manisa"],"department":["Department of Public Health"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1955-5431","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sib\u011fatullah Ali","family":"Orak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manisa Celal Bayar University, Turkey","place":["Manisa"],"department":["Department of Pediatric Neurology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asl\u0131 K\u00fcbra","family":"Atasever","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manisa Celal Bayar University, Turkey","place":["Manisa"],"department":["Department of Pediatric Neurology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muzaffer","family":"Polat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manisa Celal Bayar University, Turkey","place":["Manisa"],"department":["Department of Pediatric Neurology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"02","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(11)70274-5","article-title":"Clinically isolated syndromes","volume":"11","author":"D H Miller","year":"2012","journal-title":"Lancet Neurol"},{"issue":"10","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1261","DOI":"10.1177\/1352458513484547","article-title":"International Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Study Group criteria for pediatric multiple sclerosis and immune-mediated central nervous system demyelinating disorders: revisions to the 2007 definitions","volume":"19","author":"L B Krupp","year":"2013","journal-title":"Mult Scler"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"936","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(14)70093-6","article-title":"Multiple sclerosis in children: an update on clinical diagnosis, therapeutic strategies, and research","volume":"13","author":"A Waldman","year":"2014","journal-title":"Lancet Neurol"},{"issue":"25","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2603","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa067597","article-title":"Natural history of multiple sclerosis with childhood onset","volume":"356","author":"C Renoux","year":"2007","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref5","first-page":"968","article-title":"Baseline MRI predicts future MS conversion","volume":"67","author":"M Tintor\u00e9","year":"2006","journal-title":"Neurology."},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"2932","article-title":"Oligoclonal bands and MS prognosis","volume":"136","author":"R Dobson","year":"2013","journal-title":"Brain"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref7","first-page":"2","article-title":"Treatment approaches for pediatric demyelinating disorders","volume":"21","author":"Y Hacohen","year":"2019","journal-title":"Curr Treat Options Neurol"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1038\/s41582-018-0112-x","article-title":"Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies in neurological disease","volume":"15","author":"M Reindl","year":"2019","journal-title":"Nat Rev Neurol"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000001729","article-title":"International Panel for NMO Diagnosis.
