Tumefactive multiple sclerosis

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2024 Feb 8;37(2):344-347. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2289301. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTTumefactive multiple sclerosis (MS) is a subtype of atypical and rare MS that presents with tumor-like lesions in the central nervous system. The lesions may demonstrate a mass effect, edema, with ring enhancement. They can be mistaken for brain tumors or brain abscesses radiologically and clinically. Here we describe an instructive case of a 55-year-old woman with tumefactive MS who presented with occasional numbness in her right arm and leg, headache, thought confusion, and blurred vision for 2 years.PMID:38343475 | PMC:PMC10857543 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2023.2289301
