title: [Multiple sclerosis and pregnancy].
abstract: Mulltiple sclerosis and pregnancy Multiple sclerosis (MS) is diagnosed between the second and fourth decade. More than 2/3 of patients are women and are often in childbearing age. We may ask two main questions: Which implication of pregnancy on the evolution of MS has to be considered ? Which influence of MS on the pregnancy is expected? In other words could the pregnancy worsen MS and could MS represent specific risks for the pregnancy?
