What is multiple sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis is a condition involving immune-mediated injury in the central nervous system.
Symptoms, causes and assessment
Vision change, numbness, weakness, balance or bladder problems may occur and vary widely. Diagnosis is not based on one MRI image alone; history, examination and tests also consider other causes.
Care and when to seek help
Treatments that modify disease course and rehabilitation options exist; neurologists tailor plans. Sudden new neurological symptoms need urgent assessment, especially because stroke is another possibility.
