Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the nervous system. In the early disease course, axonal loss and neurodegeneration occurs that could possibly lead to irreversible neurological impairments. Preventing brain atrophy may have important clinical implications affecting treatment decisions in the future. In recent years, research efforts have directed towards finding agents to modify the disease and reduce brain volume loss. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) may have some potential roles in this regard.
