Descriptor esclerosis múltiple crónica progresiva
Entry term(s) esclerosis múltiple progresiva crónica
esclerosis múltiple recurrente progresiva
esclerosis múltiple remitente progresiva
Scope note: Forma de esclerosis múltiple caracterizada por deterioro progresivo de la función neurológica que contrasta con la forma más típica recidivante-remitente. Si el curso clínico no tiene remisiones manifiestas, se conoce como esclerosis múltiple progresiva primaria. Cuando la afección progresiva posee exacerbaciones agudas se conoce como esclerosis múltiple recidivante progresiva. El término esclerosis múltiple progresiva secundaria evoluciona hacia la forma progresiva crónica. (Ann Neurol 1994;36 Suppl:S73-S79; Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp903-914)

Scope note: A form of multiple sclerosis characterized by a progressive deterioration in neurologic function which is in contrast to the more typical relapsing remitting form. If the clinical course is free of distinct remissions, it is referred to as primary progressive multiple sclerosis. When the progressive decline is punctuated by acute exacerbations, it is referred to as progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis. The term secondary progressive multiple sclerosis is used when relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis evolves into the chronic progressive form. (From Ann Neurol 1994;36 Suppl:S73-S79; Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp903-914)
