Abstract

Inflammatory white matter disorders may commonly mimic genetic leukoencephalopathies. These include atypical presentations of common conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, together with rare inflammatory disorders. A structured approach to such cases is essential, together with judicious use of the many available diagnostic biomarkers. The potential for such conditions to respond to immunotherapy emphasizes the importance of an accurate and prompt diagnosis in improving patient outcomes.

成人炎性白质脑病。

炎症性白质疾病通常会模仿遗传性白质脑病。这些疾病包括多发性硬化症等常见疾病的非典型表现，以及罕见的炎症性疾病。对这类病例必须采取有条理的方法，并明智地使用许多可用的诊断生物标志物。此类病症有可能对免疫疗法产生反应，这就强调了准确及时的诊断对改善患者预后的重要性。

期刊介绍： The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
