[Abstract] Histology has showed iron abnormal deposition in the brains of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) animals. Iron in the brain can be detected and measured accurately using non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The probable pathogenesis and the related to experimental research on the brain iron abnormal deposition in MS patients and animal experiments are reviewed.
