Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Paroxysmal phenomena are characteristic, though uncommon, clinical manifestations in multiple sclerosis (MS).
  • These symptoms arise from aberrant neuronal excitation within demyelinated plaques, common in MS pathology.
  • Previous reports have documented various paroxysmal events in MS, but ocular convergence spasms are not widely recognized.
