Riassunto

Le prime osservazioni relative alla presenza di disturbi psichiatrici e cognitivi nei pazienti affetti da sclerosi multipla (SM) risalgono al 1877 a opera di Jean Martin Charcot (Charcot, 1877): molti altri decenni dovettero, però, passare prima che si pervenisse a una descrizione puntuale e accurata del deficit cognitivo nei pazienti affetti da SM.
