摘要：

Using the MS registries in two MS clinics in Kuwait, we studied the demographics and clinical characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS). Data of 736 patients (77.7% with relapsing remitting course) were analyzed. The mean age at onset and mean duration were 26.87 and 7.71 years, respectively. About 47.9% of patients had a disease duration years. Cerebellar/brainstem and spinal manifestations were the presenting symptoms in 29.5 and 27.4%, of patients, respectively. The EDSS score was in 72.8% of patients. We concluded that in Kuwait, the clinical characteristics of MS have important differences in terms of presentations at onset and disease progression as compared to regional cohorts. (C) 2014 S.
