Unusual CT patterns of multiple sclerosis
AM Wang, JH Morris, WF Hickey, SB Hammerschlag, GV O'Reilly and CL Rumbaugh
In three patients with histologically confirmed, acute demyelinating disease (multiple sclerosis), serial cranial computed tomography revealed unusual findings. Computed tomography showed contrast- enhancing lesions with mass effect, which suggested brain tumors and the need for surgical biopsy. Steroids were administered to each patients; in two, the large mass lesions resolved dramatically. These and other rapid changes may help in the recognition of multiple sclerosis.
