| Popis: | Cognitive deficits affecting memory, attention, speed of information processing and executive functions are common in multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study we examine the possibility of discrete pattern of neuropsychological deficits of MS subtypes. 28 patients (13 RRMS, 6 CIS, and 9 SPMS) were assessed with a comprehensive neuropsycholgical battery. Results indicate that only the SPMS group demonstrates memory and executive impairment. This finding indicates possible differentiation of the three subtypes in terms of neuropsychological profiles. Psychiatric aspects of MS are also briefly discussed. |
