Abstract:
Movement disorders other than cerebellar tremor are rare clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS). Two cases of parkinsonism and a case of chorea associated with MS are reported, and the literature is reviewed.
Insights
Movement disorders like parkinsonism and chorea are uncommon in multiple sclerosis (MS). This study reports rare cases, highlighting the diverse neurological symptoms MS can present beyond typical tremors.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neuroimmunology
- Movement Disorders
Background:
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) is primarily known for cerebellar tremors.
- Other movement disorders are infrequent but recognized MS manifestations.
