Abstract
_____________________________________________________ Background : Much interest was directed towards studying vascular complications in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the mechanisms of these complications are not well-understood. Objective: our work aimed to evaluate the risk of dyslipidemia in patients with MS and to correlate this risk with disease parameters. Methods : A case-control study included 50 patients with MS diagnosis and 50 age-and sex-matched healthy controls. The incidence of dyslipidemia was assessed in all participants by measuring serum lipid parameters in patients and controls. Results: Serum total cholesterol and triglycerides levels were significantly higher in MS,
