AB A  demyelinating  disease  is  any  disease  in  which  the  myelin  sheath  of  the  neuron  is  damaged.  Weakening  of  the  transmitted  electrical  signal  ultimately  results  in  impairment  in  sensation,  cognition,  and  movement  or  other  functions  depending  on  which  nerves  are  affected.  Classification  of  demyelinating  diseases  is  made  on  the  basis  of  whether  the  nerves  affected  are  of  the  central  nervous  system  or  of  the  peripheral  nervous  system  (Table  114-1).
