Physiologic MRI of a Tumefactive Multiple Sclerosis Lesion Neurol 51:1487-1488, Ernst,T.,et al, 1998 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Structural and physiologic MRI were performed after subacute onset of left hemiparesis in a patients with MS. MRI showed a large ring-enhancing lesion with surrounding edema and mass effect; differential diagnosis included a neoplasm or a l arge MS plaque. Physiologic MRI showed reduced blood flow and magnetization transfer, as well as increased diffusion, in the large lesion. Because these findings suggested a tumefactive MS plaque rather than a neoplasm, the patient received steroid trea tment for acute MS exacerbation. Three months later the patient improved clinically on MRI.
