Multiple sclerosis is a frequent condition where the diagnosis relies on clinical presentation, neurologic examination, cerebro spinal fluid markers, and diagnostic imaging tests; however, atypical variants of the disease can lead to misdiagnosis in some scenarios. Herein, we describe a case of a 24-year-old patient with multiple sclerosis with megacystic plaques, in which appropriate interpretation of the imaging findings lead to a proper diagnosis and treatment.
