1、 MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS, (MS, P167-170P167-170) )Prof. YAN YONGDept.of Neurology, the 1st Hospital, Chongqing University of Medical Science PREFACEPREFACE MS is one of demyelinative diseases,with multifocal damage of the white matter of central nervous system (CNS,ie. brain and sp
2、inal cord) at different times that occurs in young adults,with a peak incidence between age 20 and 40,women are affected nearly twice as oftenas men(2:1). A. ETIOLOGYETIOLOGY OF MSOF MS The real cause of MS is unknown. 1.A role for immune-mediated or infectionsfactors has been proposed,but data to s
3、upportthese postulates are fragmentary and indirect. 2.Incidence varies widely in differentgeographical areas. It is very low in the tropicsand high in the temperate zones of both northern and southern hemispheres(betweenlatitudes 400N and 400S). 3. A genetic predisposition is suggestedby twin studi
4、es, the occasional familial incidence,and the strong association between the disease and specific HL- antigens(HLA DR2). 4.Present evidence supports the belief that the disease has an autoimmune basis. B. PATHOLOGYB. PATHOLOGYThe disorder is characterized pathologically bythe development of focal-of
5、ten periventricular scattered areas of demyelination followedby a reactive gliosis ; there may be axonal damage as well. These lesions occur in theCNS (eg.white matter of the brain , brainstem , spinal cord, cerebellum and in the optic ()nerve ).C. CLINICAL FINDINGSC. CLINICAL FINDINGS MS is a disea
6、se of young adults with a meanage of onset of 32 (ages 1055, most 2040). This disease usually presents in the form ofrecurrent attacks of focal or multifocal neurologicdysfunction,reflecting lesions within the CNS. Typical episode: Symptoms worsen gradually over a period of afew days to 2 3 weeks, a
7、nd then remit.Recoveryis usually lasting weeks or months. Remissionmay be complete, particularly after early attacks, however,remission of many patients is incompleteand as one attack follows another, a stepwise downward progression ensues with Increasing permanent deficit. The attacks occur-remit-r
8、ecur-remit, seemingly randomly over many years. A half of MS take the form of an intermittentlyprogressive illness and sometimes of a steadilyprogressive one, especially in patients more than 40 years of age. The first attack of MS may declare itself as asingle symptom or sign (45%) or as more thano
9、ne symptoms or signs (55%). SYMPTOMSSYMPTOMS The symptoms and signs are variously bylesions position and damaged structures.

SUBSEQUENT COURSESUBSEQUENT COURSE Based on its cours
13、e, the disease can be divided into 1.A relapsing-remitting form 缓解复发型缓解复发型 85% of cases in which progression does not occur between attacks; 2.A secondary progressive form 继发进展型继发进展型 80% of cases after 25 years, characterized by a gradually progressive course after an initial relapsing-remitting pat
14、tern ; 3.A primary progressive form 原发进展型原发进展型 10% of cases in which there is gradual progression of disability from clinical onset. 4.A progressive-relapsing form 进展进展-复发型复发型 occurs rarely,with acute relapses being superimposed on a primary progressive course.

DIAGNOSIS Diagnosis may be uncertain at the onset and in the early years of the disease,when symptoms andsigns point to a lesion in only one locus of the NS.Later,as the disease recurs and disseminatesthrougout the cerebrospinal axis, diagnosticaccuracy approaches 1
19、00%. In most cases the initial manifestations improvepartially or completely, to be followed after avariable interval by the recurrence of the sameabnormalities or the appearance of new ones inthe other parts of the CNS. Examination in advanced cases commonly reveals optic atrophy, nystagmus, dythar
20、thria, and upper motor neuron, sensory, or cerebellar deficits in some or all of the limbs. Note that the diagnosis cannot be based on any single symptom or sign, but only on a total clinical picture that indicates involvement of differentparts of the CNS at different times. The diagnosis of MS requ
21、ires The diagnosis of MS requires evidence thatevidence that 1. At least two or more discrete lesionsseparated different regions of the central white matter have been affected at differenttimes, and a history of remission andrelapse.在在CNS的白质中,在不同的时间的白质中,在不同的时间(时间多发时间多发),证实至少有两个或以上的孤立病灶证实至少有两个或以上的孤立病
22、灶(病灶多发病灶多发)。 So called “relapse” imply that the symptoms and signs lasted at least over24h and interval over a month once episode. 2.The onset must be in age range most characteristic of MS (ages1055yr, most2040). 3.MRI demonstrated multifocal lesionsin CNS(brain,brainstem,cerebellum and spinal cord

There are two diagnostic criterion by Poser(1983) and McDonald(2001) P235,p236 1.Clinically definite MS: A relapsing-remitting course and signs of atleast two lesions involving different regions ofcentral w
24、hite matter, and conformed by MRI. 2. Clinically probable MS: be conformed multifocal white matter diseaseby MRI,but have had only one clinical attack, or have a history of at least two clinical episodesbut signs of only a single lesion.G. TREATMENTG. TREATMENT 1.1.Relapsing-remitting type:Relapsing
25、-remitting type: Aim: To reduce the relapse rate Interferon -1a 30ug im, once weekly Interferon -1b 50ug subcutaneously, qod. Intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIgIVIg) 0.4g/kg/d5ds Corticosteroids: Methylprednisolone 1000 mg, iv./d, 35ds, then followed by Prednisone tabella 60mg,oral,1mg/kg/d,for wks. 2.
26、 Progressive MS type2. Progressive MS type: : Interferon -1b (and probably Interferon -1a) are effective in reducing the progression rate asdetermined clinically and MRI in secondaryprogressive disease. Cyclophosphamide azathioprine methotrexate cyceosporin A mitoxandrone cladribine Those may help t
27、o arrest the course of secondaryprogressive disease,but studies are inconclusive.with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone (1g/d once a month) is also sometimes effective. 3.3.Plasma exchange(PE)Plasma exchange(PE) It is indicated especially in patients with a severe or rapidly progressive defic

The two therapies are addit
29、ive. 5.Symptomatic treatment should not be neglected, but the fatigue, spasticity are a serious problem. Treatment for other aspects of advanced MS such as cognitive deficits, pain, tremor and ataxia isgenerally less successful. G. PrognosisPrognosis Symptoms and signs cease to progress by about 4 w
30、eeks into the illness.The disorder is self-limiting, and improvement occurs over the weeks or monthsfollowing onset. In the first episode of MS 70-75% of patients recover completely, 25% are left with mild neurologic deficits, 5% die of respiratory failure. The prognosis is poorer when there is evid

Advanced age, the need for ventilatory support,or more rapid onset of symptoms may also predict a poorer prognosis.CASE REPORTCASE REPORT A woman, 32 years old. A worker, Marred. Chef comp
