Resumen : Background: Multiple sclerosis cortical lesions are areas of demyelination and neuroaxonal loss. Retinal layer thickness, measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT), is an emerging biomarker of neuroaxonal loss. Studies have reported correlations between cortical lesions and retinal layer thinning in established multiple sclerosis, suggesting a shared pathophysiological process. Here, we assessed the correlation between cortical lesions and OCT metrics at the onset of multiple sclerosis, examining, for the first time, associations with physical or cognitive disability. Objective: To examine the relationship between cortical lesions, optic nerve and retinal layer thicknesses, and physical and cognitive disability at the first demyelinating event. Methods: Thirty-nine patients and 22 controls underwent 3T-MRI, optical coherence tomography, and clinical tests. We identified cortical lesions on phase-sensitive inversion recovery sequences, including occipital cortex lesions. We measured the estimated total intracranial volume and the white matter lesion volume. OCT metrics included peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL), ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) and inner nuclear layer (INL) thicknesses. Results: Higher total cortical and leukocortical lesion volumes correlated with thinner pRNFL (B = -0.0005, 95 % CI -0.0008 to -0.0001, p = 0.01; B = -0.0005, 95 % CI -0.0008 to -0.0001, p = 0.01, respectively). Leukocortical lesion number correlated with colour vision deficits (B = 0.58, 95 %CI 0.039 to 1,11, p = 0.036). Thinner GCIPL correlated with a higher Expanded Disability Status Scale (B = -0.06, 95 % CI -1.1 to -0.008, p = 0.026). MS diagnosis (n = 18) correlated with higher cortical and leukocortical lesion numbers (p = 0.004 and p = 0.003), thinner GCIPL (p = 0.029) and INL (p = 0.041). Conclusion: The association between cortical lesions and axonal damage in the optic nerve reinforces the role of neurodegenerative processes in MS pathogenesis at onset.
