Interestingly, this patient presented parkinsonian features, probably in connection with the underlying disease.KEY WORDS: multiple sclerosis, tumoral form, parkinsonism. The authors report the case of a patient with the tumoral form of MS and parkinsonian features. To the best of our knowlegde, this association has hardly been reported in the current literature.
