Abstract

Multiple Sclerosis is complex and can be difficult to manage medically. There are many potentially dangerous comorbidities and proper diagnosis and management are critical. In addition to this, in some cases underlying pathology triggering the neurological autoimmune state may be assessed and treated. This case-based discussion of Multiple Sclerosis will discuss the pathogenesis, pharmacology, and assessment of underlying triggers.
