The current therapy of multiple sclerosis

Over a 6-year period, 2,783 subjects, consecutively referred from the inpatient unit of a private psychiatric hospital, were evaluated with brain MRI. Twenty-three patients (0.83%) had brain white matter hyperintensities (WMH) that were highly suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS). The subjects with WMH consistent with MS were most commonly diagnosed with affective illness. They had a significantly longer length of hospital stay during the index admission, a greater number of past psychiatric admissions, a greater prevalence of brain atrophy, and a history of more frequent neurological symptoms and signs than those without these findings.

Although cranial neuropathi es are common disorders in multiple sclerosis pati ents, multiple cranial nerve involvement is an unusual occurrence. Correlation ofclinical symptoms with magnetic resonan ce imag ing evidence ofdemyelinating central nervous system lesions can con--f irm the diagnosis.

Treatment of multiple sclerosis remain s primarily suppo rtive in nature, with corticosteroids used for acute exacerbations and chronic progression.
