Fulltext PDFMultiple Sclerosis is a disease with remitting and relapsing course and the normal classification is more based on the clinical manifestation and MRI scan findings. There are rare types of multiple sclerosis where demyelination can be monophasic or polyphasic. We present a patient with Tumefactive MS (TMS) with a typical relapsing and remitting course initially but later exhibited secondary progression.
TMS presents like a space occupying lesion or tumour so it is important to make the correct diagnosis, sometimes requiring a biopsy for confirmation.
Treatment choice is tough but needs to be commenced early for better control and outcome. This patient deferred disease modifying agents for a long time but when she finally accepted treatment, it was too late as she developed secondary progression with a relentless course.
