title: [Borderlines types of multiple sclerosis].
abstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) has been described for more than a century, but its cause remains unknown. Numerous reports have been written concerning borderline types of the disease. In the present paper we present the pseudo-tumoral variants of MS (so called Balo's, Marburg's and Schilder's forms), demographic variants (young and elderly onset of MS), related disorders (neuromyelitis optica and acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis). We also discuss the differential diagnosis with other auto-immune diseases.
