Question:

Multiple sclerosis is likely to be caused by:
1. parasitic invasion
2. autoimmune disease
3. neoplastic process
4. mass effect
5. hydrocephalus





Answer:

2. autoimmune disease



Explanation
Multiple sclerosis is [thought to be caused by an autoimmune process in which the person`s own leukocytes destroy the myelin within the central nervous system, slowing or interrupting nerve conduction].

Abstract
ABSTRACT
We report the case of a patient with pre-existing multiple sclerosis, who presented with horizontal diplopia, and a prior episode of progressive ataxia and dizziness lasting one week. While initially attributed to multiple sclerosis, subsequent imaging demonstrated a concurrent left cerebellar gangliocytoma, also known as Lhermitte-Duclos disease.
