Preferred Label : demyelinating autoimmune diseases, cns;
MeSH definition : Conditions characterized by loss or dysfunction of myelin (see MYELIN SHEATH) in the
brain, spinal cord, or optic nerves secondary to autoimmune mediated processes. This
may take the form of a humoral or cellular immune response directed toward myelin
or OLIGODENDROGLIA associated autoantigens.;
