Helen Yates, Chief Executive of MSRC, commenting on this paper said; "Whilst we are always saddened to hear of MS in the very young, it is very important that the medical profession is becoming increasingly aware that the condition DOES exist in children. MSRC is working to provide as many resources as possible for young people with MS and their families"
Introduction
Multiple sclerosis (MS) in children is being recognized with increasing frequency. The first descriptions of MS in children were published by Charcot between 1829 and 1849, though it was not for another 50 years that MS in children was again described in the literature (Hanefeld, 2007). There are now several national programs focused on the research and clinical management of children with MS. Recently, an International Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Study group was constituted with the goal of fostering collaborative efforts (for more information, email: info@ipmssg.org).
