Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is known to be a degenerative central nervous diseases with multiple, irregular spots of degeneration. As the posterior fossa part of the brain most frequently is involved, we undertook a thorough analysis by means of our neurootological investigations in 127 cases suffering from ”encephalitis disseminata”.

In our history system NODEC the occurrence rate of complaints about vertigo was very high, the rate nausea was very low. The amount of visual disturbances with complaints about double vision and oscillopsias is high. The rate concerning hearing symptoms with complaints about tinnitus and hearing loss is comparatively low. In this sample accompanying trigeminal disturbances are also found as well as peripheral and central facial nerve paralysis, however, with a lower incidence rate.
