AB Demyelinating  disorders  are  immune-mediated  conditions  characterized  by  preferential  destruction  of  central  nervous  system  (CNS)  myelin.  The  peripheral  nervous  system  (PNS)  is  spared,  and  most  patients  have  no  evidence  of  an  associated  systemic  illness.  Multiple  sclerosis,  the  most  common  disease  in  this  category,  is  second  only  to  trauma  as  a  cause  of  neurologic  disability  beginning  in  early  to  middle  adulthood.
