ABSTRACT

BCS is a rare multiple sclerosis (MS) variant defined by concentric rings of alternating demyelinated and partially myelinated fibers. The clinical course of BCS was traditionally depicted as acute monophasic, but many other clinical forms were discovered in the past decades. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that favorable outcomes with treatment were reported even though the natural history of the disease varies and may result in death or severe disability.
