A person with MS can have almost any neurological symptom or sign; with autonomic, visual, motor, and sensory problems being the most common. The specific symptoms are determined by the locations of the lesions within the nervous system, and may include loss of sensitivity or changes in sensation such as tingling, pins and needles or numbness, muscle weakness, very pronounced reflexes, muscle spasms, or difficulty in moving; difficulties with coordination and balance (ataxia); problems with speech or swallowing, visual problems (nystagmus, optic neuritis or double vision), feeling tired, acute or chronic pain, and bladder and bowel difficulties, among others. Difficulties thinking and emotional problems such as depression or unstable mood are also common. Uhthoff's phenomenon, a worsening of symptoms due to exposure to higher than usual temperatures, and Lhermitte's sign, an electrical sensation that runs down the back when bending the neck, are particularly characteristic of multiple sclerosis. Syringomyelia Subacute combined degeneration Anterior spinal artery occlusion Incorrect! Anterior spinal artery occlusion manifests as, * Complete motor paralysis below the level of the lesion due to interruption of the corticospinal tract * Loss of pain and temperature sensation at and below the level of the lesion due to interruption of the spinothalamic tract * Retained proprioception and vibratory sensation due to intact dorsal columns * Areflexia, flaccid anal sphincter, urinary retention and intestinal obstruction may also be present in individuals with anterior cord syndrome.
