Balo's concentric sclerosis was diagnosed antemortem in 2 patients, by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showing striking concentric alternating rings in 1 patient and by characteristic histopathological features in the other. The course of the lesions and the concentric pattern were followed by MR imaging for 3 years and 18 months, respectively. One patient demonstrated spontaneous remission that has not been reported in Balo's disease. Balo's disease may not have a fulminant course as described in the past and the MR appearance of the chronic lesion may resemble that of a chronic multiple sclerosis plaque.
巴洛同心性硬化在2例患者生前被诊断，1例通过磁共振（MR）成像显示出明显的同心交替环，另1例通过特征性组织病理学特征确诊。分别通过MR成像对2例患者病变过程及同心模式进行了3年和18个月的随访。1例患者出现了自发缓解，这在巴洛病中尚未见报道。巴洛病可能并不像过去所描述的那样呈暴发性病程，其慢性病变的MR表现可能类似于慢性多发性硬化斑块。
