Abstract :

 The white matter diseases of the central nervous system constitute   a complex group of diseases. Neuroimaging, in particular, Magnetic Resonance Imaging has   made major contribution to the clinical evaluation & understanding of the white matter diseases. The pathological processes that prevents the normal formation and maintenance of myelin or that selectively destroy the oligodendrocytes or myelin sheath causes white matter disease, which can be categorized as Inherited or dysmyelinating disease and Acquired or demyelinating disease. Dysmyelination refers to the formation of intrinsically abnormal myelin, resulting in poor myelination or early myelin degeneration, whereas, demyelinating disease refers to degradation of normal myelin due to disease process.
