Abstract
|
|
|
The co-occurrence of multiple sclerosis and peripheral demyelinating neuropathy is rare. It has been disputed
whether these are pathologically related or coincidental findings. We report a 36-year-old woman who presented
with diplopia, right facial palsy and left-sided weakness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a lesion
indicative of central demyelinating disease. Nerve conduction studies revealed peripheral multifocal demyelinating
neuropathies. We suggest that the central and the peripheral lesions may be continua of a demyelinating
process.
