J Neurol. 2008 Dec:255 Suppl 6:69-76. doi: 10.1007/s00415-008-6013-y.

Abstract

Many patients ask, "Can I get this again?" (a relapse) and "How bad is it? Will I end up in a wheelchair?" (severity/progression). These two questions guide this brief review of the clinical spectrum of demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system.
