MS is the most common inflammatory disease of the central nervous system and is characterized by demyelination, gliosis, and perivascular infiltration of monocytes primarily in the white matter . MS patients usually present with a clinically isolated syndrome, which is a first neurological event with documented demyelination in the optic nerve or central nervous system . More than half of individuals with a clinically isolated syndrome go on to develop MS. Radiological abnormalities consistent with MS can be identified in persons without symptoms; this is called a radiologically isolated syndrome, and these individuals also have a high risk of developing MS. MS manifests in a variety of ways, including numbness and or tingling in the extremities, tremors, visual disturbances, and muscle weakness.
