multiple sclerosis

A neurological disease characterised by the gradual destruction of the myelin sheath protecting the nerves in the brain and the spinal cord. In multiple sclerosis, this sheath becomes damaged and is even destroyed in places, thus forming lesions in the form of demyelination plaques, hence the name of the disease.
