Balo's Concentric Sclerosis

Balo's Concentric Sclerosis is an uncommon demyelinating disease.
It is characterized by alternative bands of demyelination and myelin preservation, often in whorl-like configurations.

On the T1W images after gadolinium there is alternating linear enhancement.
There is a smaller, similar lesion on the right.
