摘要
Multiple sclerosis (MS) has both neurological and psychiatric manifestations. Though depression, bipolar disorder and la belle indifference are commonly described, schizophrenia-like-psychosis is not widely reported with MS. Drug interactions and side effects make treatment, in such scenario, challenging. We, for the first time, report a patient with MS and paranoid schizophrenia successfully treated with concurrent use of clozapine and risperidone with interferon-beta-1a. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
