Abstract
We report a case of Balb's concentric sclerosis. In the past, the diag nosis was usually made post mortem. In this case, we found that CT dem onstrated only low-density lesions, but not their concentric pattern. However, MRI showed a striking feature, reminiscent of histopathology of Balb's concentric sclerosis, and played an important role in antemo rtem diagnosis of this rare demyelinating disease.
