Introduction:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the central nervous system, characterized by dissemination in space and time which results in a wide range of neurological manifestations. In this review, we discuss MS in Qatif which is small city in Saudi Arabia with a population around 500 thousands that descend from almost one ethnic background. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed to extract data regarding MS in general and MS in Qatif central hospital population in specific and statistical testing to find any correlation between the disease and factors thought to affect it in QHC population. Results:Data have shown no relation between MS and ethnic background, age,infection and obesity in QHC population . This review will discuss the factors influencing MS; correlate their effects with disease pathology, their interaction in the context of disease development. Conclusion:Understanding MS development could help find ways to treat MS and influence factors which affect the development of the disease.
