Interval computed tomography in multiple sclerosis. 1978

M A Weinstein, and R J Lederman, and A D Rothner, and P M Duchesneau, and D Norman

Computed tomography demonstrated areas of abnormal attenuation in the white matter in 14 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Nine were studied two or more times. Acute MS lesions exhibit decreased or normal attenuation without contrast enhancement and increased attenuation with it. On later scans these lesions show decreased attenuation with or without contrast material. Some lesions remain decreased in attenuation and some become normal both with and without contrast material.

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
