[A clinical case of multiple sclerosis with an episode of schizophrenia-like syndrome].

Abstract

The article presents a clinical observation of a schizophrenia-like disorder in a patient with multiple sclerosis (MS). The patient had highly active MS with a relapsing course, the diagnosis was made based on the McDonald 2017 criteria. During the course of a demyelinating disease of the nervous system, the patient developed an episode of psychotic disorders with symptoms of mutism, hallucinations, delusions and impaired thinking, which was quickly stopped in stationary conditions. This case is of particular interest to neurologists and psychiatrists, since psychotic disorders occur in MS patients and cause difficulties in diagnosis and treatment.
