Demyelination is the process that erodes the sheath that normally protects nerve cells. This causes a reduction in the nerve impulse conduction. One of the diseases that causes this is multiple sclerosis.

What does the demyelinating disease affect?
A demyelinating disease is any disease of the nervous system.
What demyelinating nerve disorder can paralise the legs?
Guillain-Barre syndrome is a demyelinating nerve disorder that can lead to paralysis of the legs. It is an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system attacks the peripheral nerves, resulting in muscle weakness and in severe cases, paralysis.
What could demyelination be if it's not multiple sclerosis?
idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating diseases Vitamin B12 deficiency Central pontine myelinolysis Tabes Dorsalis transverse myelitis Devic's disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy Optic neuritis Leukodystrophies A demyelinating disease is any disease of the nervous system in which the myelin sheath of neurons is damaged. Demyelinating describes the effect of the disease, rather than its cause; some demyelinating diseases are caused by genetics, some by infectious agents, some by autoimmune reactions, and some by unknown factors.
What other diseases is associated with demyelinating disease besides MS?
Other diseases associated with demyelinating disease include neuromyelitis optica (NMO), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and transverse myelitis. These conditions also involve damage to the myelin sheath that covers nerve fibers in the central nervous system, resulting in neurological symptoms.
How do you treat demyelinating plaque?
See multiple sclerosis. there's lots of help in the web
What is Demyelinating Encephalopathy?
1. extensive idiopathic loss of myelin sheaths in the brain, as occurs in leukodystrophy.
What is the ICD-9 code for Guillain-Barre Syndrome?
The ICD-9 code for Guillain-Barré Syndrome is 357.0. This code falls under the category of inflammatory and demyelinating diseases of the nervous system. It specifically refers to acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, which is the most common form of Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
Can demyelinating disease be cured?
It is possible to cure demyelinating disease but there is no known cure as of 2014. This is due to the nature of the disease having many sources from genetic to infections or autoimmune reactions. Treatments as of 2014 are used to slow the process and improve the patients general way of life to reduce the effects of the disease on their life as it progresses.
Is sensory demyelinating polyneuropathy an afferent pathway problem?
Yes, sensory demyelinating polyneuropathy primarily affects the sensory nerve fibers by damaging the myelin sheath that surrounds them. This results in impaired transmission of sensory signals from the peripheral nerves to the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and reduced sensation.
What is a part of a neuron affected by multiple sclerosis?
the myelin sheaths. The disease is classified as demyelinating , which is also known as the degeneration of the myelin structures in the neuron.
Does anyone use norco or vicodin 10-325 for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy?
i have ms and cidp. i am looking for other people who use hydrocodone or norco or vicodin
What happens if oligodendrocytes of the CNS are damaged?
demyelinating disease: multiple sclerosis, catastrophe, and cerebral palsy.
