Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system that leads
to a progressive breakdown of the myelin sheath by self-harming autoantibodies. Both
MS and migraines have a predilection for women as opposed to men. In addition, both
can come across as acute attacks on the body that negatively affect the ability of
an individual to function. Are they associative concurrent afflictions or is one the
primary causality of the other? This case report represents a teenage girl who presented
to her pediatrician with recurrent migraines, which led to a diagnosis of pediatric
MS.
