Definition/Description
[edit | edit source]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex, chronic, neurological disease, affecting the insulation surrounding nerve fibres (axons) of the central nervous system and the axons. The coating(myelin), protects nerve cells and allows the efficient transmission of electrical impulses along nerve fibres. Because of the progrssive nature and the variation in location of the nervous system result in many clinical presentations. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune diseas in wich an immune system dysfunction produces an inflammatory attack directed against the myelin in a process called demyelination but the exact cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown.
