Multiple sclerosis
• Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease in
which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain
and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts
the ability of parts of the nervous system to
communicate, resulting in a range
of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental,
and sometimes psychiatric problems.
• It is a progressive disease that attacks the myelin
sheath of axons in the CNS .
• Degeneration of myelin sheath is so severe
sometimes that the associated axons become
dysfunctional and degenerate , ultimately hard scar
tissue develop in the CNS
