Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe patients with unusual symptoms that were primary manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Patients And Methods: We report 21 multiple sclerosis patients who presented unusual initial pictures (acute brachial pain n=4, headache n=6, ptosis n=1, oculomotor nerve palsy n=1, peripheral facial palsy n=1, throat pain n=1, hypoglossal nerve palsy n=1, visual field defect n=2, epilepsia n=2, and coma n=2) as the first manifestations in the absence of other obvious symptoms or signs.
Results: Investigations demonstrated changes highly suggestive of multiple sclerosis on magnetic resonance imaging, cerebrospinal fluid analysis and electrophysiological tests.
Multiple Sclerosis is known to cause autonomic and sexual dysfunction. However, genitourinary and sexual problems in female multiple sclerosis patients are difficult to analyse. Therefore, it is an understudied field.

Material And Methods: Thirty-eight patients with ET affecting upper limbs underwent a randomized, crossover study with olanzapine (20 mg/day) and propranolol (120 mg/day). Evaluation (baseline and 1 month after each drug) was done by using the tremor clinical rating scale and a self-reported disability scale.
