Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). Distinguishing BCS from other demyelinating disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS) or from neoplasms can be difficult clinically; however, MRI aids in the identification of the disease. We describe the case of a 37-year-old female presenting with sudden onset of neurologic symptoms associated with a solitary rounded white-matter lesion suggestive of BCS. This rare disorder can present with heterogenous symptoms, imaging findings, and response to treatment. Furthermore, more in-depth analysis of the presentations and treatment outcomes of BCS are necessary in order to create a more robust plan of care.
巴洛同心圆性硬化（BCS）是一种罕见的中枢神经系统（CNS）脱髓鞘疾病。临床上，将BCS与其他脱髓鞘疾病如多发性硬化症（MS）或肿瘤区分开来可能很困难；然而，磁共振成像（MRI）有助于该疾病的识别。我们描述了一例37岁女性病例，该患者突然出现神经系统症状，并伴有一个提示BCS的孤立圆形白质病变。这种罕见疾病可表现出多样的症状、影像学表现及对治疗的反应。此外，有必要对BCS的临床表现和治疗结果进行更深入的分析，以制定更完善的护理方案。
