Multiple sclerosis (MS), also termed as Encephalomyelitis disseminata (ED) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). Its origin has not been cleared despite enormous research-efforts. The MS is next to epilepsy one of the most frequent neurological disease in young adulthood. Multiple sclerosis shows numerous (multiple) dispersed centres of inflammatory demyelinating which probably are caused by the attack of the body's own defence cells on the myelin sheaths of the nerve cell axons. Impaired vision combined with a reduction of the visual acuity and disorders of the eye-movement (internuclear ophthalmoplegia) are typical but not specific for multiple sclerosis.
