{Cerebro-spinal sclerosis} (Med.), an affection in which patches of hardening, produced by increase of the neuroglia and atrophy of the true nerve tissue, are found scattered throughout the brain and spinal cord.

Formerly referred to as {multiple sclerosis}, {disseminated sclerosis}, or {insular sclerosis}, but now usually called only {multiple sclerosis}, or {MS}. [1913 Webster +PJC]
