In a course of multiple sclerosis neurologic deficit could be overshadowed by psychotic signs such as catatonia, depression and dementia. Thus, ignoring these clinical manifestations can pre- vent early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Subsequently, an appropriate treatment will be delayed. In our article we report a case of multiple sclerisos in patient presented initially with catatonia, depression and dementia. Psychiatric, neurological, MRI picture and treatment impact thoroughly throughout the whole observation period are described. This case illustrates that catatonia can be dominating feature in the clinical course of multiple sclerosis and can overshadow other neurologic signs.
