Fingolimod is a widely used treatment for highly active relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
To describe the case of a 27-year-old patient treated for more than 2 years by Fingolimod, who presented hemiplegia and speech disturbances associated with extensive white matter lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Case study.
Although initial presentation questioned the possibility of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, final diagnosis was multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse. Appropriate treatment resulted in clinical and radiological improvement.
Severe MS relapses under Fingolimod have been reported, but late onset after treatment initiation and extensive subcortical topography is unusual and represents a diagnostic challenge.
芬戈莫德是一种广泛用于治疗活跃复发缓解型多发性硬化症的药物。
描述一名 27 岁患者的病例,该患者使用芬戈莫德治疗超过 2 年,出现偏瘫和言语障碍,同时大脑磁共振成像(MRI)显示广泛的白质病变。
病例研究。
尽管最初的表现提示进行性多灶性白质脑病的可能性,但最终诊断为多发性硬化症(MS)复发。适当的治疗导致了临床和影像学的改善。
已经报道了在芬戈莫德治疗下出现严重的 MS 复发,但在治疗开始后很晚才出现且广泛的皮质下病变是不常见的,这构成了诊断上的挑战。
