The authors carried out computer-tomographic examinations of the head of 115 patients suffering from disseminated sclerosis. Various pathological signs, such as a distention of the cerebral ventricles and the subarachnoidal space, a diminution of the cerebellum volume, and presence of lowered-density foci, were revealed in 72% of the patients. 34 lowered-density foci appeared to be subclinical. The computer-tomographic findings were correlated with the disease phase and duration, and the results of the correlation were analyzed. In the phase of the process exacerbation, the lowered-density foci were found more frequently than in the phase of remission, the frequency increase being statistically significant. The distention of the brain ventricles and subarachnoidal space was observed twice as more frequently in patients with a disease duration of over 5 years, than in patients who were ill for 5 years or less. In 3 patients with the spinal form of the disease, a number of signs of brain affection were revealed on the computer-tomographic examination. The data obtained are discussed.

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.
