A Case of Multiple Sclerosis Presented with 5th, 6th and 7th Cranial Nerve Paralysis

Abstract: A 36-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of numbness in hands, double vision, and inability to close her left eye. Her physical examination revealed horizontal diplopia, underactivity of the left lateral rectus muscle, left peripheral facial paralysis, and trigeminal sensorial neuropathy. The magnetic resonance imaging revealed hyperintense lesions, which were compatible with multiple sclerosis (MS). Therefore, systemic steroid treatment (1000 mg/day intravenous methylprednisolon… Show more

“…Although MS is known as a neurodegenerative disease with demyelination of the central nervous system, it can also in-clude eye involvement. The most form of common involvement is optic neuritis; however, peripheral retinal vasculitis, uveitis, vitreous opacities, and the involvement of the fifth, sixth, and seventh cranial nerves may be seen (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). Patients with optic neuritis are ordinarily examined for light reflexes in an ophthalmologic examination and relative afferent pupil defects are found in most of these patients.…”
