| Summary: | Balo's concentric sclerosis, a rare demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with the formation of concentric areas of demyelination in the white matter of the brain, was previously classified as an atypical form of multiple sclerosis with a fulminant course and a poor prognosis. However, recent clinical observations have cast doubt on this statement. To date, it has been established that the outcomes of the disease can vary from complete recovery to significant disability or death. The classification of Balo's concentric sclerosis as a distinct disease or form of multiple sclerosis remains a matter of debate. The article describes a clinical case of a 29-year-old female patient with Balo's concentric sclerosis. A description of nosological data, diagnostic criteria, and approaches to therapy is provided. |
