Compared with HC, patients with paediatric MS showed higher normalised CP volume (p&lt;0.001). Both female and male patients with paediatric MS showed higher normalised CP volume compared with sex-matched HC (women: p&lt;0.001 and men: p=0.021), with a significant disease\u00d7sex interaction (p=0.040). In patients with MS, a higher normalised CP volume was significantly associated with higher brain lesional volume (\u03b2=0.252, p=0.017), larger lateral ventricle volume (\u03b2=0.470, false discovery rate (FDR)-p&lt;0.001), lower normalised brain volume (\u03b2=\u22120.413, FDR-p=0.002) and lower normalised thalamic volume (\u03b2=0.291, FDR-p=0.046). No associations with disease duration, Expanded Disability Status Scale score, normalised cortical and white matter volumes were found (FDR-p\u22650.172). A significant effect of the disease in the negative association between normalised volumes of CP and thalami was observed (FDR-p=0.046).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CP enlargement occurs in paediatric MS, suggesting its early involvement in the pathophysiology of the disease.
