[Multiple sclerosis and neurofibromatosis 1].
A patient with recurrent-remittent multiple sclerosis associated with neurofibromatosis type I is described. The case is interesting for two reasons: 1) the difficulty of evaluating MRI findings, since both entities involve similar anomalies and 2) the relation between the two entities, according to evidence from recent genetic studies showing that the myelin protein gene associated to oligodendrocytes is part of an intron of the neurofibromatosis-1 gene of chromosome 17.

[Bilateral epidural psoas abscess simulating bilateral proximal diabetic plexopathy].
We describe a diabetic woman with an epidural abscess and associated bilateral psoas abscesses which simulated the clinical course of diabetic bilateral proximal plexopathy. We emphasize three aspects: 1) the rarity of associated epidural abscess and bilateral psoas abscesses, 2) the rarity of the germ isolated (Streptococcus bovis), and 3) the diagnostic difficulties when both processes are associated, particularly in patients with an underlying disease that may simulate other common, clinical pictures.
