Results |
This case report suggests that bipolar affective disorders may be the initial manifestations of multiple sclerosis.
Conclusion |
The awareness of psychiatric manifestations in unset and acute relapse episodes of multiple sclerosis may be helpful for an early dagnosis and for treatment adjustment.
