This study on multiple sclerosis (MS) found motor weakness and visual impairment as the most frequent initial symptoms. Findings align with existing research on MS presentation and diagnostics.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroimmunology

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system.
  • Understanding the initial presentation of MS is crucial for early diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the commonest initial neurologic symptoms in a cohort of multiple sclerosis patients.
  • To document the occurrence of specific clinical signs like internuclear ophthalmoplegia, optic nerve involvement, and Devic's disease in MS.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of fifty patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
  • Analysis of initial neurologic symptoms and clinical findings.
  • Correlation of evoked potential studies and radiological investigations with clinical presentation.

Main Results:

  • Motor weakness was the most common initial neurologic symptom (30%).
  • Visual impairment was the second most frequent initial symptom (26%).
  • Internuclear ophthalmoplegia was infrequently observed, as were optic nerve involvement and Devic's disease.

Conclusions:

  • Initial symptoms in multiple sclerosis patients commonly involve motor and visual disturbances.
  • The observed clinical and diagnostic patterns are consistent with previously reported series.
  • Further research can refine understanding of MS heterogeneity.
