Paroxysmal ataxia and dysarthria are part of the spectrum of transient neurological disturbances that can be frequently encountered in multiple sclerosis (MS). Prompt recognition of these symptoms is important because they can be the only manifestation of a MS relapse and symptomatic therapy is often beneficial. We report a patient who developed paroxysmal ataxia and dysarthria, documented by video imaging, while he was recovering from a MS relapse. Treatment with carbamazepine resulted in the complete reversal of the paroxysmal ataxia and dysarthria.
发作性共济失调和构音障碍是多发性硬化症(MS)中经常遇到的短暂性神经功能障碍谱的一部分。及时识别这些症状很重要,因为它们可能是 MS 复发的唯一表现,对症治疗通常是有益的。我们报告了一例患者在 MS 复发后恢复时出现发作性共济失调和构音障碍,并通过视频成像记录下来。卡马西平治疗导致发作性共济失调和构音障碍完全逆转。
