Abstract
Irregular, concentric zones of increased signal on T2-weighted cranial MR i
maging studies may strongly suggest Balo concentric sclerosis (BCS), a rare
but recognized variant of multiple sclerosis. Differentiating BCS from mul
tiple sclerosis or neoplasm can be difficult clinically, but MR imaging fin
dings noted in this case may be pathognomonic.
