Abstract

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the commonest organic disease of the Central Nervous System (CNS) in the young adult throughout the temperate zone. The hallmark is the demyelinating plaque, in which the removal of apparently normal myelin from axons, usually against a background of perivenular infiltration by lymphocytes, plasma cells and mononuclear cells, is observed.
