Deficient learning and memory in early and middle phases of multiple sclerosis

I Grant et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1984 Mar.

Abstract

Forty-three patients with multiple sclerosis showed disturbances in short-term memory, learning, and delayed recall which were associated with years of active disease (average was 4.5 years), age, presence of flareup, but not steroid/ACTH treatment. Unrecognised memory loss might be prevalent early in the natural history of multiple sclerosis and deserves neuropsychological assessment.
