Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare inflammatory demyelinating disease of central nervous system, pathologically characterized by alternate bands of demyelination and preserved myelin tissue. Before the era of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), most cases of BCS were diagnosed on postmortem examination. MRI allows for noninvasive diagnosis by demonstrating characteristic changes which closely parallels the histopathological features of BCS. We report a case of 26-year-old female with BCS involving bilateral thalami, with typical MRI appearance.
Balo 同心性硬化症（BCS）是一种罕见的中枢神经系统炎症性脱髓鞘疾病，其病理学特征为脱髓鞘和髓鞘组织保存的交替带。在磁共振成像（MRI）时代之前，大多数 BCS 病例都是通过尸检诊断的。MRI 通过显示与 BCS 的组织病理学特征密切相关的特征性变化，实现了非侵入性诊断。我们报告了一例 26 岁女性双侧丘脑 BCS 的病例，具有典型的 MRI 表现。
