A degenerative process that erodes
away
the myelin sheath that normally protects nerve fibers.
Demyelination exposes these fibers and appears to cause
problems in nerve impulse conduction that may affect many
physical systems. Demyelinization is seen in a number of
diseases, particularly multiple sclerosis.
Diagnosis is by
functional observation and by testing for myelin protein in
the blood.
