title: Multiple sclerosis with abnormal cerebrospinal fluid--a case report.
abstract: Multiple sclerosis is an uncommon demyelinating condition in Singapore. The commonest mode of presentation here is in the form of Devic's syndrome. Although our patients here have shown classical findings with respect to clinical features, neuroimaging studies and electrophysiologic tests, abnormal cerebrospinal fluid changes have not been reported locally. We report the first case of multiple sclerosis with abnormal cerebrospinal fluid changes. We also reviewed cerebrospinal fluid changes in multiple sclerosis and recent advances in laboratory techniques of cerebrospinal fluid analyses.
