Abstract

Spasm of the near reflex is a rare clinical finding of unknown anatomical origin. We report the case of a 25-year-old female with recurrent spasms of the near reflex as a new type of paroxysmal phenomenon in multiple sclerosis. A possible pathomechanism considering a demyelinating lesion in the region of the medial longitudinal fasciculus is suggested.
