Abstrakt: Multiple sclerosis (MA) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Although the initial presentation of MS is widely variable, only rarely does it present with isolated bilateral cranial nerve involvement. With this article, we report a case of MS initially presenting as a clinically isolated syndrome of bilateral abducens nerve palsy.
