Visual defects commonly result from demyelination of axons along the visual pathway.

Apart from demyelination, the other pathologic hallmark of the disease is inflammation.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Demyelination is the removal of the covering of the nerve through an inflammatory response.

Demyelination is the loss of this myelin sheath, and is the cause of several nasty diseases.
From the scienceblogs.com
- Loss of the myelin covering of some nerve fibers resulting in their impaired function
- (demyelinate) destroy the myelin sheath of; "the disease demyelinated the nerve fibers"
- A demyelinating disease is any disease of the nervous system in which the myelin sheath of neurons is damaged. This impairs the conduction of signals in the affected nerves, causing impairment in sensation, movement, cognition, or other functions depending on which nerves are involved.
- (Demyelinating) Myelin is a dielectric (electrically insulating) material that forms a layer, the myelin sheath, usually around only the axon of a neuron. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Myelin is an outgrowth of a glial cell. ...
- (demyelinating) An inflammatory process that disrupts the myelin coating of nervous system structures.
- (demyelinating) Resulting in removal or degradation of myelin already formed.
- The loss of nerve fiber "insulation" due to trauma or disease, which reduces the ability of nerves to conduct impulses (as in multiple sclerosis and some kinds of SCI).
- A loss of myelin in the white matter of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord).
- Damage caused to myelin by recurrent attacks of inflammation. Demyelination ultimately results in nervous system scars, called plaques, which interrupt communications between the nerves and the rest of the body.
