CNS demyelinating autoimmune diseases
Classification and external resources
MeSH	D020278

CNS demyelinating autoimmune diseases are autoimmune diseases which primarily affect the central nervous system.

Examples include:

Diffuse cerebral sclerosis of Schilder
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis
Multiple sclerosis (though ethiology is unknown, it is sure that immune system is involved)
Transverse myelitis
Neuromyelitis optica

Demyelinating diseases - Group including them all, regardless of their autoimmunity or idiopathic and inflammatory status.
