Popis
Shrnutí:	(C) Perfusion MRI analysis, based on four regions of interest depicted in D (A, pink, B, white, C, blue, D, red) suggests that the central layers of the ring are more perfused compared to the peripheral ones. n The spectroscopic image (figure 2B) of the lesion documented increased choline peak and decreased N-acetyl aspartate peak, but normal peaks in the normal appearing white matter near the lesion.1 The perfusion analysis (figure 2C), based on four different regions of interest (figure 2D), suggested a decreasing gradient of perfusion from the centre to the periphery of the lesion, supporting the hypothesis that the centre of the ring corresponds anatomically to a deep venous vessel.3 Authors are not aware of previous report of perfusion studies in Balò's sclerosis. n Cerebrospinal fluid analysis detected oligoclonal bands, without anti-aquaporin-4 antibodies. The right paresis fully recovered after 2 weeks and has not relapsed after 11 months. n The 8 months follow-up MRI showed a reduction in the lesion volume and absence of new demyelinating lesions (figure 3A,B). (A) Axial fluid attenuated inversion recovery sequence and (B) sagittal T2-sequence evidence the reduction in the lesion volume compared to figure 1.
