Abstract :Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system and one of the most common causes of disability in young people. It affects the autonomic nervous system, presenting a wide range of symptoms and signs similar to those of the somatic nervous system. Clinical signs of autonomic nervous system involvement were found in 85% of patients. Bladder and bowel problems, sexual dysfunction, cardiovascular dysfunction, thermoregulatory dysfunction, orthostatic hypotension, and fatigue are among the findings of autonomic nervous system involvement. Autonomic symptoms cause disability and decreased quality of life at least as much as motor symptoms. Patients should be questioned regarding autonomic symptoms, and treatment should be initiated if necessary.Keywords : Multipl sklerozis, otonomik tutulum, otonom sinir sistemi
