Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the nervous system. The ocular manifestation includes optic neuritis, internuclear opthalmoplegia and nystagmus. Upbeat nystagmus is a rare manifestation of multiple sclerosis. We report a patient with relapsing multiple sclerosis who presented with upbeat nystagmus from a circumscribed lesion in the caudal medulla.
