abstract = {Autoimmune-mediated obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can
occur in multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, a well-studied case
study of a patient with OCD and MS-compatible diagnostic
findings is presented. The 42-year-old female patient had
displayed OCD symptoms for 6 years. Magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) identified several periventricular and one
brainstem lesion suggestive of demyelination. Cerebrospinal
fluid (CSF) analyses detected an increased white blood cell
count, intrathecal immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM synthesis,
CSF-specific oligoclonal bands, and a positive MRZ reaction.
Neopterin was increased, but sarcoidosis was excluded. In
the absence of neurological attacks and clues for MRI-based
dissemination in time, a radiologically isolated syndrome,
the pre-disease stage of MS, was diagnosed. Neurotransmitter
measurements of CSF detected reduced serotonin levels. In
the absence of visible strategic demyelinating lesions
within the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuits, OCD
symptoms may relate to reduced intrathecal serotonin levels
and mild neuroinflammatory processes. Serotonin
abnormalities in MS should be studied further, as they could
potentially explain the association between
neuroinflammation and mental illnesses.},
