Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neurology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) can present with subtle neurological deficits.
- Visual disturbances are common in MS, but their underlying ocular motor signs may not always be apparent on standard examination.
- Early and accurate diagnosis of MS-related ocular motor abnormalities is crucial for effective management.
