Balo's concentric sclerosis is a rare variant of multiple sclerosis described by Balo in 1928. It is characterized by alternating rings of demyelination and spared myelin.
We report a case of Balo's concentric sclerosis diagnosed by the typical MRI findings of concentric rings of demyelination. Medullar and brain localisation were found and clinical course was good under intravenous corticosteroids.
MRI provides the best diagnostic information for Balo's concentric sclerosis, allowing early diagnosis and treatment.
巴洛同心圆性硬化是1928年由巴洛描述的一种罕见的多发性硬化变体。其特征是脱髓鞘和髓鞘保留交替出现的环。
我们报告一例通过典型的脱髓鞘同心圆MRI表现诊断为巴洛同心圆性硬化的病例。发现病变位于脊髓和脑,静脉注射皮质类固醇治疗后临床病程良好。
MRI为巴洛同心圆性硬化提供了最佳诊断信息,有助于早期诊断和治疗。
