Tumefactive: A Rare First presentation of Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

Tumefactive demyelinating lesions are a rare presentation of multiple sclerosis (MS). Diagnosis of tumefactive is commonly carried out using magnetic resonance image (MRI). Tumefactive diagnosis is difficult because of may similar to the clinical and MRI characteristics of glioma or a cerebral abscess. We presented a 35-years-old female with one episode of secondary generalized seizure after delivery. In MRI with contrast, two gadolinium-enhanced lesions were observed in right temporal lobe with open-ring appearance.
