Abstract
A 40-year-old Italian man was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis through symptoms of weakness in the lower limbs, nystagmus and oscillopsia confirmed by neurological assessment. Vision disturbances progressively worsened, becoming disabling for the patient. No proven treatment was effective. However, when the patient started therapy with delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol/cannabidiol (nabiximols), he noticed a significant improvement in nystagmus, as well as in spasticity.
