It may present as a lesior clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from brain tumour particularly on computerized tomography (CT) scans. Diagnosis only gets clear when magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (MRI & MRS) and brain biopsy is done. We report a case of 30 year old male with progressive headache a...

متن کاملBalo's Concentric Sclerosis Mimicking Cerebral Tuberculoma
Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is considered a rare variant of multiple sclerosis, which often mimics an intracranial neoplasm or abscess. We report the case of a 21-year-old woman presenting with BCS while undergoing treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. Initial brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were similar to those for cerebral tuberculoma, multiple metastases, or abscesses....
متن کاملBaló's concentric sclerosis in a woman from Papua New Guinea.
We report a case of Baló's concentric sclerosis (a variant of multiple sclerosis) from Papua New Guinea. A 42-year-old woman with a past episode of optic neuritis presented with a left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a solitary large tumour-like right cerebral lesion with a pattern of concentric bands of different signal intensities. The diagnosis was established by biopsy of t...
