Common manifestations of MS:
From most to least common.
1-Sensory disturbance:
The most common presenting
manifestations of MS are paresthesias: tingling, pins and needles, dysesthesias (burning, gritty, sandy, electrical, or wet sensations), or hypoesthesia.
2-Motor symptoms:
Motor symptoms are the second most common initial manifestation of MS and include limb weakness, loss of dexterity, and gait disturbance.
3-Optic neuritis:
The third most common presenting manifestation of MS is optic neuritis, which is characterized by loss of vision affecting usually one eye evolving over hours or days.Loss of vision can be
complete or partial. May be Scotoma.It is often associated with periorbital pain during eye movements. Reduced color vision.
4-Ataxia and tremor:
Discoordinated movements of the limbs or gait are common in MS and can be caused by plaques affecting the cerebellar afferent or efferent pathways.
5-Diplopia:
Double vision is common in MS and is caused by disconjugate eye movements.
The most common abnormal eye movement observed in MS is internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO). Due to Demyelinating plaques that affect the medial longitudinal fasciculus, a tract that yokes the sixth cranial nerve nucleus.
6-Vertigo:
It can be the initial manifestation of MS or can occur at any time during the course of the disease.
7-Fatigue:
Over the course of the disease, fatigue is one of the most common MS symptoms and contends with cognitive impairment as the major cause of loss of vocation.
8-Facial pain:
Trigeminal neuralgia.
To distinguish it from its idiopathic counterpart are bilateral occurrence, constant duration, involvement of the first branch of the 5CN.
9-Bladder and bowel dysfunction:
Patients often complain of urinary urgency, frequency, hesitancy, and incontinence.
10-Facial weakness:
Lower motor neuron facial weakness, similar to Bell's palsy.
11-Flexor spasms:
One of the paroxysmal symptoms of MS, and a hallmark of the disease, is flexor spasms.
12-Neuropsychiatric dysfunction:
Difficulties with short-term memory, attention, information processing, problem solving, multitasking, and language function.
13-Dysarthria
14-Dysphagia:
Particularly later in the course of the disease.
15-Facial myokymia:
Chronic flickering contractions of the orbicularis occuli or other muscles of facial expression.
Others: Headache, Hearing loss, Cramps, Loss of consciousness, Loss of taste,Tinnitus.

Investigation
* CBC to exclude other dx .
* work up of peripheral neuropathy
Thyroid panel
Rheumatology profiles
Vitamin B-12
Folic acid
Hemoglobin A1C
(ESR)
Rapid protein reagent
Immunoelectrophoresis of serum protein
Tests for heavy metals .
* biochemical
- LFT
- electrolyte level
- CPK level
- stool culture for C.jejeni
* serologic tests for virus
* serum autoantibodies
Ab of GM1 , antiGM1
* Pulmonary function tests
* ABG ..O2 saturation
* CSF unlysis
albuminocytologic dissociation, which is an elevation in CSF protein (>0.55 g/L) without an elevation in white blood cells.
May be normal in the 1st days
* nerve conduction studies
helpful in the diagnostic workup and prognostic evaluation of patients with suspected GBS.
