Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Neuroimmunology Conditions We Treat
Neuroimmunological disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS) happen when the body attacks the central nervous system. These attacks can lead to permanent nerve damage, causing symptoms such as weakness, tingling and numbness. Cedars-Sinai experts have specialized training and excel in treating a range of rare and complex diagnoses.
Types of MS We Treat
- Primary-progressive MS (PPMS), symptoms that worsen over time with no periods of recovery
- Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), periods of symptom flare-ups followed by periods with fewer, less severe symptoms
- Secondary-progressive MS (SPMS), fewer flare-ups but severe symptoms during flare-ups
- Tumefactive MS, a rare form of MS with symptoms similar to a brain tumor
- Clinically isolated syndrome, initial episode of MS symptoms that lasts at least 24 hours
- Radiologically isolated syndrome, signs of MS in imaging studies in people who are not experiencing symptoms
Other Neuroimmunological Diseases We Treat
- Autoimmune encephalitis, in which the body's immune system attacks healthy brain cells
- Neurologic manifestations of rheumatologic disease, with complications of conditions affecting the joints and connective tissue
- Neuromyelitis optica, in which immune system cells attack the nerves in the eyes and spinal cord
- Neurosarcoidosis, with inflammation throughout the body in people with sarcoidosis
- Paraneoplastic neuroimmune conditions, in which nervous system disorders affect people with cancer
- Transverse myelitis, a rare form of inflammation in the spinal cord
