A member asked:
Inflammation of the central nervous system... could it be possible that it is multiple sclerosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Broad term: Inflammation is part of the innate immune response following insults to the body which can spread into the central nervous system (cns). Inflammation within the CNS is part of the pathogenesis of the primary neurodegenerative diseases such as alzheimer's and parkinson's disease. And yes, it is considered to be a part of the way demyelination occurs in multiple sclerosis. I hope this helps.
