Idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating diseases



Idiopathic Inflammatory Demyelinating Diseases (IIDDs), sometimes known as Borderline forms of multiple sclerosis[1], is a collection of multiple sclerosis variants, sometimes considered different diseases[2].

The list of these diseases depends of the author, but usually are included:

As MS is an active field for research, the list is not closed or definitive. For example, some diseases like Susac's syndrome (MS has an important vascular component [5]) or autoimmune variants of peripheral neuropathies like Guillain-Barré syndrome could be included.

Some authors also think that primary progressive multiple sclerosis should be considered a different entity from standard MS[6] [7]. Others maintain the opposite[8].

Finally, also a dual classification of these diseases has been proposed, according to the shape of edges of the scars, in MS-like and ADEM-like[9]
