title: Isolated, relapsing and progressive demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system.
abstract: Many patients ask, "Can I get this again?" (a relapse) and "How bad is it? Will I end up in a wheelchair?" (severity/progression). These two questions guide this brief review of the clinical spectrum of demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system.
