title: [Effect of anesthesia and surgery on the postoperative course in multiple sclerosis].
abstract: Multiple sclerosis is the most frequently occurring neurologic disease in our area. The common opinion is that a stress situation such as a surgical procedure or general anaesthesia may lead to an amelioration of this disease. No really convincing evidence exists to support this opinion. The observation of the postoperative course of two patients, who underwent a total of three surgical procedures under general anaesthesia suggests a short-lived temporary deterioration of their symptoms. An amelioration of the disease however was not observed.
