Summary

This study details a rare case of Baló's concentric sclerosis, a type of multiple sclerosis (MS). High-field MRI revealed concentric demyelinating lesions that regressed, though some cognitive deficits persisted.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system.
  • Baló's concentric sclerosis is a rare, distinct variant of MS characterized by concentric rings of demyelination.
  • Atypical presentations of MS necessitate detailed case studies for improved understanding.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with atypical multiple sclerosis exhibiting a distinct concentric structure.
  • MRI revealed diffuse, concentric demyelinating lesions in the centrum semiovales.
  • The patient experienced higher cerebral dysfunctions, including memory issues, constructual apraxia, and acalculia.

Findings:

  • The demyelinating lesions showed regression on MRI, with necrotic lesions remaining.

  • Clinical recovery was observed over four months with a combination of glycerin, prednisone, and rehabilitation.
  • Persistent intellectual impairment was noted despite clinical improvement.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the diagnostic utility of high-field MRI in Baló's concentric sclerosis.
    • It underscores the potential for neurological and cognitive deficits even after treatment.
    • Further research into the long-term cognitive outcomes and optimal management strategies for this MS variant is warranted.
