4.5.10 Cognitive Function Impairments

Cognitive function impairments, such as memory problems, slowed information processing, and less concentrated attention, are associated with MS. It does however depend on where the sclerotic plaques develop. The named cognitive function impairments very probably do not provide a complete overview of what can happen in this area in the MS patient. Good insights into the function impairments that can occur on the basis of lesions in the brain (see ► Chap. 1) are necessary. It is a prerequisite to be able to recognize cognitive function impairments. When the presence of cognitive impairments is suspected, it is possible with imaging techniques to visualize a confirmation of the suspicion.
