RESUMEN
La esclerosis múltiple (EM) produce lesiones multifocales
desmielinizantes que producen una gran diversidad de síntomas
transitorios o progresivos con discapacidad irreversible. La
desmielinización produce una alteración en la función neurológica
debido a la pérdida de las funciones aislantes y de capacidad de
aumentar la velocidad de conducción nerviosa de la mielina. Los
brotes típicos de EM consisten en periodos de semanas o meses
de síntomas neurológicos nuevos que pueden o no evolucionar
hacia la cronicidad cuando la recuperación no es completa. Muchos
pacientes presentan eventos más breves y transitorios que pueden
durar segundos o minutos y que no se explican por la presencia de
nuevas placas de desmielinización. Los recaídas sintomáticas o
brotes se manifiestan como pérdida de funciones fisiológicas, lo
cual produce síntomas tanto positivos como negativos, tales como
paresia, hipoestesia, pérdida visual, diplopía o ataxia. Los síntomas
positivos más frecuentes manifestados por pacientes con EM son
parestesias, prurito paroxístico, neuralgia del trigémino, fosfenos,
espasmos tónicos, mioquimias faciales y signo de Lhermitte. Estas
manifestaciones son debidas a la hiperexcitabilidad de los axones
desprovistos de mielina, en los cuales se generan impulsos eléctricos
ectópicos, descargas axonales sincrónicas, irradiación de impulsos,
interacciones efápticas y un aumento de la mecanosensibilidad.
