DEMYELINATION is an important pathological process affecting nerve fibres. It is characterized histologically by destruction of the myelin sheath with preservation of axis cylinder continuity.
Patients’ nerve conduction studies (NCS) were reviewed for evidence of demyelination and whether the abnormalities fulfilled modified INCAT electrophysiological criteria. Patients whose NCS fulfilled ...
7 Although CIDP is classed as an autoimmune disorder in which an aberrant immune response is directed towards components of the peripheral nerve causing demyelination and axonal damage, the exact ...
Demyelination in MS occurs when the immune system attacks and damages the myelin sheaths that insulate and nourish axons and nerve fibres in the central nervous system, leading to multifocal ...
