Abstract

Personalization of disease-modifying treatment, currently recommended for patients with multiple sclerosis, is based on the analysis of effectiveness and safety as well as the patient’s individual preferences for therapy. In the described patient with an active, relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis, treatment with dimethyl fumarate caused a long-term clinical and radiological stabilization of the disease, was well tolerated by the patient and enabled her successful pregnancy planning.
