  • Title: Spinal cord involvement in Balo's concentric sclerosis.
    Author: Kreft KL, Mellema SJ, Hintzen RQ.
    Journal: J Neurol Sci; 2009 Apr 15; 279(1-2):114-7. PubMed ID: 19181346.
    Abstract:
    We present a patient with a history of myelitis, who had a steroid refractory attack of CNS inflammatory demyelinating disease that developed into cerebral concentric sclerosis of Balo after plasma exchange. The acute inflammatory disease involved the spinal cord, a phenomenon rarely demonstrated. This patient fulfilled the McDonald criteria for multiple sclerosis. Plasmapheresis did not have a beneficial effect, but the patient stabilised at high EDSS after treatment with mitoxantron.
