Onion Peel Appearance in Balos Concentric Sclerosis--a Variant of Multiple Sclerosis.
Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a variant of multiple sclerosis (MS). It may present as a lesior clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from brain tumour particularly on computerized tomography (CT) scans. Diagnosis only gets clear when magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (MRI & MRS) and brain biopsy is done. We report a case of 30 year old male with progressive headache a...
متن کاملMystery case: Baló concentric sclerosis.
A 45-year-old man presented with progressive Broca aphasia and right hemiparesis. MRI demonstrated a large white matter lesion with multiple rings (figure). These centrifugal rings reflect concentric layers of active demyelination, typical for Baló concentric sclerosis. CSF showed oligoclonal bands and a mild pleocytosis. Partial recovery followed 5 days of treatment with IV methylprednisolone ...

متن کاملBaló's concentric sclerosis: clinical and radiologic features of five cases.
Baló's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare demyelinating disease considered to be a variant of multiple sclerosis. Five BCS cases were diagnosed antemortem based on their typical concentric mass patterns on MR images and based on clinical and CSF findings. Histopathologic investigation was also performed in one case. Our case report supports the concept that BCS may be a self-limited disease t...
متن کاملBalo's concentric sclerosis: a clinical case study of brain MRI, biopsy, and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic findings.
The antemortem diagnosis of Balo's concentric sclerosis was made in a 52 year old woman with subacute right hemiparesis on the basis of brain MRI and stereotactic brain biopsy, which showed multiple ring-like lesions of lamellated demyelination alternating with spared white matter. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was carried out one and nine months after the onset of illness. Th...
