Abstract:
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by orthostatic intolerance, a
presentation of autonomic dysfunction which is frequently observed in the patients with multiple
sclerosis (MS). Nevertheless, to date, there have been a few studies focusing on POTS in MS patients
and the underlying pathomechanism. We present a 28-year-old woman with relapsing-remitting opticspinal
multiple sclerosis who also suffered POTS and discuss the possible pathomechanism of POTS
in MS.
