DAMAGE
MS Disease Pathology
32. Fatigue
• Fast trains of impulses cannot be
transmitted by partially
demyelinated axons
Parathesia
• partially demyelinated axons can
discharge spontaneously
33. L’hermitte
• Increased mechanical sensitivity
Uhthoff’s
• Increased temp sensitivity,
reduction of safety factor in
partially demyelinated axons and
decreased synaptic transmission
35. Enigmatic aspects
• Areas of demyelination can be clinically
silent.
• Areas without demyelination can produce
symptoms
• Discrepancy between :
• anatomical correlation of symptoms
and signs analysis and radiological findings
