[Antemortem diagnosis of Balo's concentric sclerosis based on MRI. Case report].
Balo's concentric sclerosis is a rare variant of multiple sclerosis. It is pathologically characterized by alternating rings of demyelination and spared myelin. Recently, MRI was applied to demonstrate characteristic patterns in this disease. We report a case of Balo's concentric sclerosis diagnosed by the typical MRI findings of concentric rings of demyelination.
