Cerebral radio-necrosis in a patient with pseudo-tumoral multiple sclerosis

Abstract

A pseudo-tumoral course of multiple sclerosis is very rare. In the paper, a morphologically confirmed case of multiple sclerosis with a pseudo-tumoral course is described. A radiation treatment (because of a misdiagnosis of cerebral tumor) resulted in radio-necrosis of the cerebral tissue. Presented are the experience of treatment of this patient, differential diagnosis and efficacy of the long-term hormone therapy.
