This case report highlights that acute multiple sclerosis can rarely present with transient left ventricular failure and pulmonary edema, potentially linked to brainstem lesions.
We describe a young woman who developed left ventricular failure and pulmonary edema during fulminant onset of multiple sclerosis. One of the numerous plaques was located in the left inferior cerebellar peduncle near the dorsal motor vagal and solitary tract nuclei. Within two days pulmonary edema had cleared, and within three days left ventricular function was normal. To our knowledge, left ventricular failure has not earlier been verified in acute multiple sclerosis.

Melin et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Multiple sclerosis with left ventricular failure and pulmonary edema (n=1). Fulminant onset of multiple sclerosis was evaluated on Left ventricular failure and pulmonary edema. A young woman developed left ventricular failure and pulmonary edema during fulminant onset of multiple sclerosis, which resolved within three days.
