Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the brain that renders people unable to do simple day-to-day activities. The cause of MS remains unknown. Doctors hypothesize that there is a “trigger” that makes the immune systems of people with MS overactive, causing injury to their own brains and nerves. Exposure to certain viruses and vitamin deficiencies can increase a person’s likelihood of developing MS. MS causes relatively similar symptoms in children and adults. However, there are specific differences that make the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of MS in children unique. Due to these differences, doctors use a special set of criteria (rules) when diagnosing children. There is no cure for MS, but treatments exist to control symptoms and prevent injury to the brain and nerves.
