The influence of anesthesia on the course of multiple sclerosis is poorly investigated and the literature is limited. The aim of this study is to investigate multiple sclerosis relapse after different types of anesthesia.
The influence of anesthesia on the course of multiple sclerosis is poorly investigated and the literature is limited.

The aim of this study is to investigate multiple sclerosis relapse after different types of anesthesia.
