Multiple Sclerosis and Related Demyelinating Diseases | Laura J. Balcer, MD, Professor, Department of Neurology, NYU Langone | "Destruction of myelin, demyelination, may occur in a variety of diverse inflammatory disorders. Demyelination may result from viral infections and is a prominent feature in the group of disorders known as the demyelinating diseases, of which multiple sclerosis (MS) is perhaps the most well known." |
