Beyond conventional therapies: IVIG in treating severe fingolimod-rebound in a postpartum patient with MS.

This case report details a female patient with multiple sclerosis in her 30s, who experienced a significant fingolimod rebound syndrome post partum, characterised by worsening neurological symptoms and severe demyelinating lesions. Traditional treatments, including steroids and plasmapheresis, were ineffective. However, the introduction of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) led to remarkable improvement in her symptoms and disability status. This case highlights the complex immunological changes associated with fingolimod cessation and underscores IVIG's potential as a valuable treatment in managing such rebounds.
