Multippel sklerose (MS)

Sist oppdatert: Sist revidert:
Sist revidert av:
Definisjon: 
MS karakteriseres klinisk av avgrensede episoder med fokale angrep på hjernen, synsnervene og ryggmargen, alternativt en gradvis økning av funksjonstap (forverring eller progresjon), eller kombinasjoner av disse
Forekomst: 
Cirka 10 000 personer lever med MS i Norge. Vanlig alder for symptomdebut er 20–45 år og mer enn dobbelt så mange kvinner som menn rammes
Symptom: 
Synsforstyrrelse, dobbeltsyn, sensibilitetsforstyrrelse, kraftsvikt eller lammelser, koordinasjonsvansker, blærefunksjonsforstyrrelser
Kliniske funn: 
Typisk er sentrale lammelser, temporeduksjon, koordinasjonsforstyrrelser og flekkvise sensibilitetsutfall
Diagnostikk: 
Diagnosen baseres på anamnese og klinisk nevrologisk undersøkelse, MR og analyse av spinalvæske
Behandling: 
Legemiddelbehandling mot akutte attakker, samt forebygging av attakkrate og utvikling av uførhet, symptomatisk behandling og rehabilitering
