A New Report of Combined Central and Peripheral Demyelination: A Case Report
Combined central and peripheral demyelination (CCPD) is not encountered frequently in the clinical practice, and it requires a high level of suspicion for diagnosis. We describe a case of a young man who was diagnosed with radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) after presenting initially with sympto...
