Baló's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare demyelinating disorder characterized by acute or subacute neurological symptoms associated with characteristic lesions of concentric onion skin appearance on MRI images and in pathology. The connection between BCS and classic MS is still a subject of debates. Our report presents a case of a patient who developed a symptomatic Baló-like lesion following several years of classical relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis treated with dimethyl fumarate.
