Balo’s concentric sclerosis is a rare variant of
multiple sclerosis which is characterized by lesions consisting rings of
demyelination alternating with areas of relatively preserved myelin. These
pathological changes are reflected by characteristic magnetic resonance imaging
findings. We present the imaging findings of a case of BCS who presented with
an acute neurological disturbance, showed a dramatical recovery following
corticosteroid therapy, and remained free of relapse for more than 1 year. Although
previously considered as a fulminant and fatal disease, characteristic MRI
findings of Balo’s concentric sclerosis enable earlier diagnosis and treatment,
and better prognosis.
