A 6-year-old boy was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the youngest case at our hospital. Diagnostic support included cerebrospinal fluid analysis and advanced neuroimaging.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neuroimmunology

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease typically affecting adults.
  • Early-onset MS in children presents diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old boy presented with clinical symptoms suggestive of MS.
  • This represents the youngest diagnosis of MS at the institution.

Findings:

  • Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed elevated immunoglobulin levels, a positive IgG index, and oligoclonal bands.
  • Cranial computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated typical MS lesions.
  • Cranial angiography was normal, ruling out vascular causes.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering MS in pediatric patients with neurological symptoms.
