📋Overview
This condition involves the immune system attacking the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers, which can lead to inflammation and potential damage. This disruption interferes with the transmission of electrical signals between the brain and other parts of the body.
The disorder may result in various neurological symptoms and disability as nerve fibers experience deterioration. Clinical observations indicate that the specific impact depends largely on the location and severity of the damage within the nervous system.
