Balo's concentric sclerosis: value of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis.

S Singh1, A Kuruvilla, M Alexander, I P Korah.   

Abstract

We report two cases of Balo's concentric sclerosis that demonstrate the typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of concentric rings of demyelination involving the superficial and deep white matter and sparing the cortex. In both cases biopsy was not performed as MRI findings and multi-mode evoked potential studies were consistent with demyelinating illness. The theories regarding the pathogenesis of this peculiar appearance are briefly reviewed.
