[Multiple sclerosis in computer tomography of the brain (author's transl)]. 1979

W Sistig, and C Ostertag, and F Mundinger

Tissue changes were examined in detail via computerised tomography (matrix 160 X 160) in 28 patients with neurologically established encephalomyelitis disseminata. In the majority of cases, demyelinisation was not characteristic of the predominant pathologico-anatomical substrate, ventricular extension with diffuse atrophy but without demyelinisation being the leading sign. However, if the disseminated disease became manifest with foci of demyelinisation, these presented a preferably periventricular pattern.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
