    General anesthesia in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients showed one relapse, consistent with the disease's natural course. Local anesthetics appear safe for MS patients, while spinal anesthesia may be less suitable.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease.
    • The impact of general anesthesia on MS patients is not well-documented.

    Observation:

    • 42 MS patients underwent 88 general anesthesia procedures.
    • One patient experienced an MS relapse post-general anesthesia, aligning with the disease's natural progression.
    • Literature review indicated limited data on anesthesia and MS.

    Findings:

    • Local anesthetics demonstrated a benign effect on the course of multiple sclerosis.
    • Limited data suggests spinal anesthesia might be less preferable for MS patients compared to other anesthetic options.

    Implications:

    • Local anesthesia can be considered a safe option for surgical procedures in multiple sclerosis patients.

  • Further research is needed to clarify the safety and efficacy of various anesthetic techniques in MS management.
