Abstract
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 that is not always
fatal. Characteristic MR imaging findings may allow antemortem diagnosis
of BCS when performed at the onset of the disease.
