Background: Posterior fossa syndrome (PFS) is a rare manifestation of ponto-mesencephalic lesions frequently reported in post-surgical pediatric tumors, rarely described as a consequence of vascular, infective or inflammatory lesions. Objective: The aim of this article is to report the clinical and neuroradiological characteristics of a patient with an acute PFS presentation as a relapse in relapsing-remitting MS, significantly responsive to Alemtuzumab treatment. Case report: 24-year-old patient affected by multiple sclerosis developed motor-cognitive and behavioral syndrome related to an extensive ponto-mesencephalic lesion under Fingolimod treatment. Conclusion: Our case highlights the significant and rapid effect of Alemtuzumab therapy on both cognitive and motor symptoms occurring during a MS relapse with atypical neuroradiological localization
