This course is a simplified introduction to multiple sclerosis like identify the MS and what is this disease and what the part of the body is got hurt .

then I describe the sign and symptoms of this disease and how we can noticed it in the patients .

then I describe the how we can examine the patients throw many steps that the physician do to the patients .

then I describe the diagnostic methods to diagnosis this disease .

and finally the management and treatment of the disease by the drugs .

and this is a part of what I say :

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease that attacks myelinated axons in the central nervous system, destroying the myelin and the axon in variable degrees and producing significant physical disability within 20–25 years in more than 30% of patients. The hallmark of MS is symptomatic episodes that occur months or years apart and affect different anatomic locations.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is diagnosed on the basis of clinical findings and supporting evidence from ancillary tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spinal cord and cerebrospinal fluid examination. Clinically, the attack must be compatible with the pattern of neurologic deficits seen in MS, which typically means that the duration of deficit is days to weeks.
