AbstractMultiple sclerosis is the most common demyelinating, chronic disease of the central nervous system diagnosed in and affecting young adults. This disease can significantly alter the life of affected people, and there is no known cure. It is important to understand and review this disease process because anesthesia providers are likely to encounter patients with multiple sclerosis in their practice. The purpose of this AANA Journal course is to present an overview of multiple sclerosis. The pathophysiologic features, symptoms, manifestations, diagnosis, and pharmacologic treatment are discussed, with a focus on the implications of multiple sclerosis for general and regional anesthesia.
