MS is associated with various comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases, neurological disturbances, stroke, hypertension, and metabolic disorders.[1] stroke characterized by malperfusion of CNS tissue, is among the significant comorbidities observed in MS patients.[2,3] We undertook a study aimed at determining the prevalence of stroke among pwMS in Isfahan, Iran.
