ABSTRACT
There is variable prevalence of multiple sclerosis, higher in those residing in latitude away from the equator, and among the Caucasian population. Multiple sclerosis has not been reported in some countries, partly related to access to modern medicine. Although multiple sclerosis has been reported among the Somali diaspora, it has not been reported among the residents in Somalia. We report an adult Somali woman who has relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis for 8 years, affecting the optic nerves, cerebellum and spinal cord.
