Associations with brain microstructural damage were more pronounced in periventricular regions, compatible with a surface-in pattern. Similar associations were observed in controls, suggesting CP volume may reflect processes beyond MS-specific pathology, including physiological factors. Longitudinally, CP volume increased exclusively in active RMS, with faster expansion associated with thalamic atrophy. CP MTsat was associated with cortical and paramagnetic rim lesions in inactive PMS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CP enlargement is consistent across MS phases.
