Sumario:Surgery in patients with multiple sclerosis, the most common autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system, represents a challenge for surgeons and anesthesiologists because of the reported risk of relapse of the neurologic symptoms in the perioperative period. In this report, we describe the management of a patient with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and critical coronary artery disease, who underwent an uneventful off-pump coronary artery revascularization. The issues pertaining to the performance of coronary surgery revascularization on patients with multiple sclerosis are discussed.
