Abstract:
This report describes a 35-year-old female suffering from a cluster-tic syndrome and bilateral internuclear
ophthalmoplegia as the initial manifestation of multiple sclerosis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the
brain revealed multiple pontine hyperintense lesions. To our knowledge, there is no previous report
of multiple sclerosis presenting as cluster-tic syndrome and bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia in
the literature. The cluster headache attacks and peri-ocular neuralgiform pain resolved after treatment
with intravenous methyl-prednisolone and oral carbamazepine.
