involves demyelination in the spinal cord and in the brain. The demyelination in the brain is different than a demyelinating attack from MS; the lesions are scattered and do not appear in the same pattern as those from an MS attack.

an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system in which there are episodes of inflammation and damage to the myelin that almost exclusively affect the optic nerves and spinal cord. A rare disorder which resembles multiple sclerosis (MS) in several ways, but requires a different course of treatment for optimal results.
