| Popis: | Tumefactive multiple sclerosis (TMS) is a rare variant of multiple sclerosis (MS) with atypical features that pose a diagnostic challenge. In this study, we report a case of cervical MS in a 19-year-old patient that was diagnosed based on the MRI findings and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. The patient was treated with high-dose steroid and five sessions of plasma exchange with significant improvement. |
