Abstract

Demyelinating disorders are characterized by the destruction of the myelin sheaths of the nerves following normal myelin development. Types of demyelinating conditions can be generally characterized as immune-mediated diseases, infection- mediated diseases, inherited disorders, and toxic disorders (see (Table 20.1; and Joy and Johnston, 2001, for detailed review). This chapter will begin with a brief description of demyelinating conditions representing these categories. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating condition and will be the primary topic of this chapter.
