Etiology of multiple sclerosis has both genetic and environmental components. The current conception is that multiple sclerosis pathogenesis comprises an initial inflammatory phase, followed by a phase of demyelination and last, a neurodegenerative phase. The mechanisms of inflammatory reactions, axonal loss and reparative changes have been discussed. There are two schemes of treatments: the escalating approach and the induction therapy. One of the main principles of disease modifying therapy of MS is treat-early approach. Results of interferon’s-b and glatiramer acetate comparison as first-line MS therapy have been described. The use immunosuppressive agents and future developments of MS therapy have been discussed.
