The first reported case of MS was in 1835 by a gentleman named...Jean Cruveilhier!
Yup...he was French! Good work to those who guessed right!
He was a professor of pathological anatomy in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Paris.
During routine autopsies he observed some "brown patches" in the nervous system and described them to the medical community.
This info I found in the book called Multiple Sclerosis by Shelley Ross. It's a great read if you are interested!
