title: Hypothermia in three patients with multiple sclerosis.
abstract: Hypothermia, defined as a core temperature less than 35 degrees C has multiple causes and several neurological consequences. The cases of three patients with definite multiple sclerosis since more than a decade are reported, who presented with several episodes of coma and hypothermia. Systematic neuropathologic examination of the hypothalamus in one case did not reveal any abnormality.
