Benign multiple sclerosis

Abstract: lesions than the patients in earlier reports of either coronary or femoral atheroma. Thus Knight et al7 found regression of coronary lesions in only three out of 22 patients with hypercholesterolaemia after surgical partial ileal bypass had produced an average 4000 lowering of serum cholesterol concentrations.The message seems abundantly clear.

“…On the contrary, a significant correlation between clinical disability and CI was observed both in patients without disability and in patients with VMD. These findings, according to the literature [7, 8, 22, 26, 28], emphasize the existence of CI even in patients lacking clinical disability or in cases of VMD and show the progressive impairment of different cognitive domains related to EDSS worsening.…”

“…Some studies found a neuropsychological performance impairment in recently diagnosed patients [24, 25], in patients with CIS [7, 26, 27], and in RRMS patients at early stages of the disease with little or no disability [7, 22, 26, 28]. Otherwise, many studies reported a poorer neuropsychological performance in patients with chronic progressive or secondary progressive MS [1, 6, 7, 9] than in RRMS patients.…”

“…En todos estos pacientes la evaluación clínica del psiquiatra confirmó el diagnóstico. Estos resultados son comparables a lo comunicado en la literatura que señala una frecuencia de depresión mayor en torno al 20% en EM, aunque la comunicación de síntomas depresivos puede superar el 50% como ocurrió en nuestra serie 28,29 .…”

“…No entanto, nas últimas décadas, se tem investigado o comprometimento cognitivo associado à EM, principalmente após a determinação de uma prevalência estimada de 40% a 65% (Amato et al, 2006). Com muita freqüência, esse comprometimento acomete aprendizagem, memória, velocidade de processamento da informação, discriminação visual espacial, fluência verbal, raciocínio abstrato e funções de execução, causando um prejuízo a 70% a 80% dos pacientes com esclerose múl-tipla (Roessler & Rumrill, 2003).…”

“…Amato et al (2006), acompanhando a história natural da disfunção cognitiva em 45 pacientes, com segmento de dez anos, identificaram que, no estágio inicial da doença, a disfunção cognitiva estava ausente em 74% dos pacientes, era discreta em 8% e moderada em 18%, percentuais que se alteraram para 44%, 34% e 22%, após dez anos de doença. Dentre as funções cognitivas, a mnemônica é o domínio mais freqüentemente acometido, identificado em 40% a 60% dos portadores de esclerose múltipla, com variação em função do teste empregado para sua aferição (Moriarty et al, 1999;Negreiros, Mattos, Paes, Landeira-Fernandez, & Alvarenga, 2008).…”
