Demyelination of white matter

Any disease has its cause, so when treating the disease, you must choose the right treatment method, which will be of great help to improve the disease. Many people don’t know what method to choose when treating the disease. This requires a comprehensive understanding of the disease so that you know how to treat it. What is the cause of cerebral white matter demyelination?

When you are suffering from a disease, you must first understand the cause of the disease, so that you can easily choose the treatment method when treating it. However, many people are not very clear about the cause of demyelination of the white matter.

Causes of demyelination of the white matter:

Many diseases can occur in the white matter of the brain. The typical response of white matter to various harmful stimuli is demyelinating changes, which can be a secondary manifestation of neurological diseases such as infection, poisoning, degeneration, trauma, infarction, etc. There is a group of demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system whose causes are still unclear. Therefore, the current classification of this group of diseases can be divided into two major categories according to whether the gynecological sheath is mature at the onset of their disease:

① Demyelinating diseases with normal myelin development, such as multiple sclerosis, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, acute sporadic encephalomyelitis, etc.;

② Diseases with poor myelination such as globoid cell leukodystrophy, metachromatic leukodystrophy, spongiform encephalopathy, etc.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the cause of white matter demyelination. Therefore, when treating it, we must also pay attention to the patient's disease condition, especially this type of disease is divided into different types, so when treating it, the method selection cannot be the same.
