title: Motor radiculopathy--an unusual presentation of multiple sclerosis.
abstract: A 28 year old female presented with clinical and electrical evidence indicative of L5 motor radiculopathy. Subsequently she was found to have symptoms and signs of multiple sclerosis. When clinical assessment and investigation fail to disclose a cause then demyelinating disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of motor radiculopathy.
