摘要
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of adolescence and middle age. Though rare, it is being increasingly recognized in younger population. We describe two patients in whom multiple sclerosis was diagnosed before 10 years of age. Both patients had bilateral optic neuritis during the course of their illness with partial recovery; other lesions in the neuraxis recovered reasonably well.
