title: MRI and magnetic resonance angiography findings in patients with multiple sclerosis mimicked by stroke.
abstract: We report a 45-year-old woman who presented with a first demyelinating event with abnormalities seen on both MRI and magnetic resonance angiography that were highly suggestive of acute ischemic stroke. This report highlights the problem of differential diagnosis of acute neurological symptoms in adult subjects.
