Introduction:
The prevalence of epilepsy in multiple sclerosis (MS) is low and the occurrence of an epileptic seizure as a first sign of this illness is even more infrequent. The relationship between both these illnesses is not clear; as epilepsy is a common condition, a coincidental association only could exist between the two diseases.
Objective:
To establish a nexus of causality between epilepsy an MS. Clinical case. We present one case of epileptic seizures as the first manifestation of MS. The patient was a woman of 25 years old. The only result of the clinical examination was a right homonymous inferior cuadrantanopsy. The patient presented a high Tibbling index, lesions of demyelination in the subcortical occipital region and semioval centrum in the MRI and a pathological electroencephalogram; also, the visual and auditory evoked potential latency were delayed.
Conclusions:
We related he results of the neuroimaging, the clinical examination and the complementary tests of the patient. The appears to be a causal association between epilepsy and MS.
