A young woman with recurrent neurological episodes in different CNS sites over time (ataxia episodes last year that resolved, now hemisensory symptoms with tingling) has lesions separated in time and space, which is multiple sclerosis.
- Transient sensory symptoms/paraesthesias are the most common presentation, and cerebellar involvement causes ataxia.
- A TIA or stroke would not explain relapsing–remitting episodes in different territories in a 36-year-old.
- A space-occupying lesion or cerebellar haemorrhage would progress, not remit repeatedly.
