Primary-progressive multiple sclerosis.
About 10-15% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) present with gradually increasing neurological disability, a disorder known as primary-progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). Compared with relapse-onset multiple sclerosis, people with PPMS are older at onset and a higher proportion are men. Inflammatory white-matter lesions are less evident but diffuse axonal loss and microglial activation...
متن کاملPrimary progressive multiple sclerosis: progress and challenges.
Primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) has long been recognised as presenting great difficulties to our management of what is increasingly a treatable neurological disease. Here we review some basic and clinical aspects of primary progressive MS, and describe how the disorder in fact offers powerful insights and opportunities for better understanding multiple sclerosis, and from a practica...
متن کاملPrimary progressive multiple sclerosis takes centre stage.
M ultiple sclerosis (MS) remains an enigmatic disease. Not only is the cause unknown, but the last decade of work has led to uncertainty concerning some of the previously, most strongly held, convictions about the disease. Recently, attention has shifted from understanding demyelination to understanding how axons are injured. It has been attractive to hypothesise that axonal damage occurs with ...
متن کاملA longitudinal study of cognition in primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
There are few longitudinal studies of cognition in patients with multiple sclerosis, and the results of these studies remain inconclusive. No serial neuropsychological data of an exclusively primary progressive series are available. Cross-sectional analyses have revealed significant correlations between cognition and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters in primary progressive multiple sc...
متن کاملPrimary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: Putting Together the Puzzle
The focus of multiple sclerosis research has recently turned to the relatively rare and clearly more challenging condition of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). Many risk factors such as genetic susceptibility, age, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection may interdepend on various levels, causing a complex pathophysiological cascade. Variable pathological mechanisms drive disease pr...
