[Multiple sclerosis in computer tomography of the brain (author's transl)].

Tissue changes were examined in detail via computerised tomography (matrix 160 X 160) in 28 patients with neurologically established encephalomyelitis disseminata. In the majority of cases, demyelinisation was not characteristic of the predominant pathologico-anatomical substrate, ventricular extension with diffuse atrophy but without demyelinisation being the leading sign. However, if the disseminated disease became manifest with foci of demyelinisation, these presented a preferably periventricular pattern.
