What is the definition or description of: sclerosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scarring: We neurologists employ the term to describe localized damage involving the central nervous system, and sclerosis means scarring. If in many areas, might be multiple sclerosis. If affecting the motor nerve cell, perhaps amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
