Balo concentric sclerosis is a rare demyelinating disease. Pathognomonic features have been previously described. Diffusion-wighted imaging findings have not been previously described in Balo concentric sclerosis. We describe the diffusion-weighted imaging findings in a 45-year-old lady with Balo concentric sclerosis. Diffusion-weighted imaging offers insight into the possible pathophysiology of this rare disease.

The differential diagnosis for multiple intracranial lesions in a young adult is broad and includes demyelinating, neoplastic, and infectious etiologies. In this report, we describe the case of a 19-year-old immunocompetent woman presenting with progressive headaches and aphasia. MRI of the brain revealed multiple, large supratentorial lesions with concentric bands of alternating T2 signal intensities and peripheral contrast enhancement.

Balo Concentric Sclerosis (BCS) is a rare neurological demyelinating disorder similar to Multiple Sclerosis. Both present with progressive neurological debility but differences on brain imaging help with distinction. The lack of prevalence and general diagnostic information about BCS makes it an underdiagnosed disease which can sometimes delay treatment.
