title: [Benign multiple sclerosis with childhood onset].
abstract: We report a case of multiple sclerosis which began at the age of 12 years. Clinical symptoms at onset were acute, regressive cerebellovestibular ataxia and optic neuritis. Twenty-four years later vertigo, motor and sensory deficit of the right lower limb and grand mal seizures developed. CSF and MRI were suggestive of multiple sclerosis. The patient is now free of neurological symptoms with an 8 years' follow-up.
