A Case of Combined Central and Peripheral Demyelination Associated With Antineurofascin 155 Antibodies and Paternal History of Multiple Sclerosis

Conclusion: Our case emphasizes that clinicians need to keep in mind the possibility of a coexisting demyelination in both central and peripheral nervous system, even in patients with a family history of MS. The need for a timely diagnosis is imperative since several drugs used in the management of MS can worsen the patient’s symptoms in CCPD. This is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of a patient with anti-NF 155 positive CCPD and a family history of MS.
