Abstract:
Vocabulary deficits in multiple sclerosis patients do not fit to the concept of subcortical dementia usually applied to describe cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis. In a screening of young patients with a vocabulary test a significant correlation was found between the age at the onset of symptoms and the score in this test. This may lead to an explanation of vocabulary deficits recently described as results of a slowed language acquisition caused by subcortical lesions in early multiple sclerosis.
