Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common neurological disorders and causes of disability among young adults worldwide. Pulse steroid therapy is commonly used to treat the acute relapses of MS. Acute Sinus bradycardia has been reported as a side effect after administration of pulse dose steroid; most of the reported cases are asymptomatic. A case of acute symptomatic sinus bradycardia was reported after administration of pulse steroid in post-partum women with multiple sclerosis.
