Biopsy-proven tumefactive demyelinating lesions: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

BMC Neurology
Background A tumefactive demyelinating lesion (TDL) is an area of pathological changes in the central nervous system consistent with demyelination, larger than 2 cm, and can mimic tumors on imaging; hence the term “tumefactive.” TDLs are often ...

Recurrent tumefactive demyelination: An unusual presentation

Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences, 2015
Tumefactive multiple sclerosis (MS) is a rare variant of MS characterized by the presence of large demyelinating plaques of more than 2 cm, identified with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Distinguishing tumefactive lesions from other etiologies of intracranial space occupying lesions is necessary to avoid the inadvertent intervention.

Phenotyping variants of tumefactive demyelinating lesions according to clinical and radiological features—A case series

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
BackgroundTumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) are defined as lesions >2 cm on MRI of the brain. They are identified in a range of demyelinating diseases including massive demyelination due to Marburg's acute MS, Schilder's Disease, Balo's ...

Diagnostic Dilemma: An Atypical Case of Astrocytoma in a Patient with Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Neurology International, 2021
Distinguishing between tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) and brain tumors in multiple sclerosis (MS) can be challenging. A progressive course is highly common with brain tumors in MS and no single neuroimaging technique is foolproof when ...

Virus demyelination [PDF]

, 2003
A number of viruses can initiate central nervous system (CNS) diseases that include demyelination as a major feature of neuropathology. In humans, the most prominent demyelinating diseases are progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, caused by JC ...
