(2). Thus, awareness of the characteristic MRI appearance of these lesions can be helpful for correctly diagnosing this condition in a noninvasive manner (6).We report herein a case of pathologically confirmed tumefactive MS in an uncommon location, which showed atypical magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings and a good response to steroid therapy. We also summarize the typical MR imaging findings for tumefactive MS that can be used to differentiate this lesion from others.

These symptoms had progressed for three weeks without any prior neurological symptoms. She showed ataxia on the right side on neurological examination.
