Demyelinating diseases include a group of disorders in which destruction or degeneration of normal myelin occurs. In most cases these processes go on without primary lesion of axons. Demyelinization appears as a consequence of different pathogenetic factors like ischemia, injury, toxins and radiation. In this review a current view on the pathogenesis of demyelinating diseases is discussed, considering the achievements of molecular biology.
