title: Solitary tumefactive demyelinating lesions in children.
abstract: Solitary tumefactive demyelination is rare in children, and the diagnosis is often conferred after brain biopsy. The authors report 3 children with solitary tumefactive demyelination and provide clinical and paraclinical clues to aid the clinician in reaching a diagnosis using a noninvasive approach.
