Multiple Sclerosis in a Patient with Friedreich's Ataxia

Yu Y, Kushlaf H. Multiple Sclerosis in a Patient with Friedreich's Ataxia (P4-6.016). Neurology. 2024 Apr 9;102(7_supplement_1):3347. doi: 10.1212/WNL.0000000000205077. Epub 2024 Apr 9. PMID: 39977947. 

The definitive diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in a FRDA patient is novel and requires careful reconciliation of the symptoms, clinical exam findings, and ancillary testing. The development of symptoms incompatible with FRDA should prompt clinicians to consider additional neurologic diagnoses.
