  • Title: Paroxysmal convergence spasm in multiple sclerosis.
    Author: Postert T, McMonagle U, Büttner T, Pöhlau D, Meves S, Przuntek H.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Scand; 1996 Jul; 94(1):35-7. PubMed ID: 8874591.
    Abstract:
    Paroxysmal phenomena are rare but relatively typical clinical symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) caused by abnormal excitation in demyelinated plaques. We report the case of a 25-year-old woman with ocular convergence spasms as a new type of paroxysmal phenomenon in MS. MRI revealed the associated brainstem lesion in the region of the medial longitudinal fasciculus. Bromocriptine treatment was successful in resolving the paroxysms.
