Introduction: Depression is one of the most prevalent psychiatric conditions in adulthood, reaching figures of around 20%. The methodologies used to study depression are varied, and range from a self-administered test to structured psychiatric assessment. Several studies of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have been conducted in the last 20 years, and figures of around 35% have been found for depressive symptoms, while depressive disorders are less frequent, at approximately 21%.

Here, we present a case of a patient with multiple sclerosis with Wells syndrome induced by dimethyl fumarate (DMF).
Case Report: A 41-year-old Caucasian woman was treated with DMF in July 2021.
Background: For safety reasons multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment guidelines recommend stopping or delaying the onset of disease-modifying therapies (DMT) before a planned pregnancy, but disease stability after DMT discontinuation is not well studied. The objective of this study is to describe the course of MS in patients who interrupted DMT before a planned pregnancy.
Methods: This was a retrospective study using 2008-2016 data from a multicenter register of pregnancies in women with MS.
Objective: we aimed to evaluate the utility of transorbital ultrasonography (TOS) in optic nerve assessment and quantification of ON atrophy in MS patients, and to determine whether ON atrophy correlates with the disease duration and disability measured on the Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS).
Materials And Methods: Prospective, multicentre, blinded cohort study of 59 patients diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS and 36 controls.
Results: When measured with TOS, the diameter of both the right (2.
