Why Is This Auntminnie a Diagnostic Conundrum?: A Knowledge-Based Approach to Balo ’s Concentric Sclerosis From Reports of 3 Cases and Pooled Data From 68 Other Patients in the Literature

We came across 3 cases of Balo ’s concentric sclerosis (BCS). The first of these patients presented to an outside hospital and was transferred to our institution due to complications resulting from a biopsy. The other 2 patients, despite having a characteristic imaging appearance and despite insistence on our part on the diagno sis of BCS, underwent a surgical procedure, which could have been prevented. This led us to review the available literature on BCS.
