title: CT findings in acute MS.
abstract: In 5 patients with definite or highly probable MS, unusually large hypodense plaques are seen by computerized tomography (CT scan). The active plaques all show enhancement after i.v. contrast medium injection, suggestive of blood-brain-barrier-damage, and differ from the well-known CT findings in chronic MS patients, causing diagnostic difficulties between glioma and infarction.
