Our study reports the case of a child with early Multiple Sclerosis. It is an inflammatory disease of the Central Nervous System more common in adults, considered very rare in the first decade of life. The patient had 5 years old when suffered acute attacks of ataxia and paparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed lesions compatible with the disease, although the cerebrospinal fluid did not detected typical changes. There was recovery from outbreaks and had difficulties to use immunomodulatory treatment. It reflects that the diagnosis and management in children and adolescents is more difficult, as they present nonspecific symptoms that open a range of different differential diagnoses. Therefore, our report highlights the differences between multiple sclerosis in adults and children and the difficulties in this specific population.
