A Case of Balo Concentric Sclerosis: A Multiple Sclerosis Mimic

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. This case of BCS was initially treated as an infectious brain mass, leading to unnecessary interventions. Early recognition and differentiation from other neurological conditions are crucial for appropriate management and prognosis. We hope that by presenting this case, we can aid in creating diagnostic criteria and promote awareness of this chronic debilitating disease.
