Understanding Demyelinating Diseases (MS & NMO)

Demyelinating disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers in the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord, impairing electrical nerve conduction.

When to Consult a Neurologist

Red-flag signs that warrant immediate clinical evaluation

Sudden loss or blurring of vision in one eye with pain

Unexplained numbness, tingling, or electric shock sensations

Progressive leg weakness, walking instability, or bladder urgency

Common Causes & Risk Factors

Key clinical and physiological drivers

Autoimmune inflammatory immune response targeting central nervous system myelin

Genetic susceptibility combined with environmental triggers

Evidence-Based Treatment & Clinical Protocols

Expert neurological management by Dr. Vibhor Upadhyay

High-dose intravenous pulse steroid therapy for acute relapses, plasma exchange (PLEX) for severe refractory exacerbations, and long-term Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs) to prevent disease progression.
