Table 3.

Number of Purkinje cells per mm2 of cerebellar cortex.

Multiple Sclerosis (n = 17) Controls (n = 8)
Normal cortex 12.2 (8.3–21.4) 13.2 (9.0–15.7)
Demyelinated cortex 10.2 (4.4–16)* None

The numbers of Purkinje cells were determined according to material and methods. Values given in the table are medians and range (in brackets).

P < 0.02 (demyelinated cortex compared with normal cortex in multiple sclerosis or controls).
