Transtentorial herniation from tumefactive multiple sclerosis mimicking primary brain tumor.

Conclusion: Tumefactive MS presents a unique pathology that can often mimic primary brain tumors. Although these lesions affect white matter and infrequently cause a significant amount of mass effect, they can act like a tumor, causing edema that generates sufficient intracranial pressure to cause transtentorial herniation.
