Introduction: Very rarely, adult NMDAR antibody-associated encephalitis (NMDAR-E) leads to persistent cerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Transient cerebellar ataxia is common in pediatric NMDAR-E. Immune-mediated cerebellar ataxia may be associated with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), aquaporin-4 (AQP-4), kelch-like family member 11 (KLHL11), and glutamate kainate receptor subunit 2 (GluK2) antibodies, all of which may co-occur in NMDAR-E.

Importance: A growing body of literature suggests the presence of a prodromal period with nonspecific signs and symptoms before onset of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Objective: To systematically assess diseases and symptoms diagnosed in the 5 years before a first MS- or central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating disease-related diagnostic code in pediatric patients compared with controls without MS and controls with another immune-mediated disorder, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Design, Setting, And Participants: This population-based, matched case-control study included children and adolescents (aged <18 years) in Germany with statutory health insurance from January 2010 to December 2020.

Background: Hereditary Sensory Motor Neuropathy (HSMN) 1A and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are distinct demyelinating disorders affecting the peripheral and central nervous systems, respectively. We present a case of simultaneous occurrence of both conditions, exploring the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and potential interplay between these diseases. Case presentation and clinical approach: A 49-year-old male with a history of optic neuritis presented with progressive numbness, weakness, and sensory loss in all extremities over four years.
