Summary

While central nervous system demyelinating disorders are more often than not chronic, in a small minority of patients, acute, often life-threatening entities are well recognized. These disorders can pose a threat either directly through inflammation and destruction of brain and spinal cord tissue, or indirectly due to systemic complications (i.e. respiratory failure, aspiration, etc.).
