Cognitive forms of multiple sclerosis: report of a dementia case.
Cognitive impairment is now well documented in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), and series of MS patients with predominant cognitive problems have been published recently. We report the observation of a female patient with severe cognitive presentation at the onset of MS, with dramatically demented evolution, and show MRI examination results. We discuss the published reports of primary cognitive types of MS.
