A study of neuropsychological alterations in multiple sclerosis.

Abstract

The Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery was administered to 22 patients with ascertained multiple sclerosis. The result is tht in these patients a brain damage exists in 54.5% of cases, but without preferential localization of the damage. Furthermore, the damage is not significantly correlated to four clinical parameters of the illness: age of the patient, age of the onset of the illness, duration of the illness and disability level.
