Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neuroimmunology
- Demyelinating Diseases
Background:
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease primarily affecting young females.
- While MS pathology is well-documented, initial presentations mimicking acute ischemic stroke are infrequently reported.
- Existing literature suggests MS presents as a stroke mimic in 2.2% to 4.4% of cases.
