CNS demyelinating autoimmune diseases are autoimmune diseases which primarily affect the central nervous system.

Examples include:

Diffuse cerebral sclerosis of Schilder
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis
Multiple sclerosis (though etiology is unknown, it is sure that immune system is involved)
Transverse myelitis
Neuromyelitis optica
