Aquesta es caracteritza per l&#8217;aparici\u00f3 de brots en els quals es manifesten els s\u00edmptomes neurol\u00f2gics, seguit d&#8217;episodis de remissi\u00f3 m\u00e9s o menys llargs en qu\u00e8 aquests s\u00edmptomes desapareixen parcialment o totalment. Els brots, amb el temps, poden arribar a deixar seq\u00fceles irreversibles.
