title: [Multiple sclerosis in childhood: a report of 2 clinical cases].
abstract: Multiple sclerosis is a rare finding in pediatric age. The onset of the disease may be in adolescence or pre-adolescence. It is important that pediatricians know the diagnostic criteria and clinical course of multiple sclerosis in childhood. We describe the case reports of two children, a 11- and a 14-years-old girls and review the literature of the last 5 years on multiple sclerosis in childhood.
