Özet

Multiple sclerosis (MS) may rarely present as a cerebral mass with the clinical features and computed tomography (CT) scan appearance of a cerebral tumor. We report a case of MS with large cranial involvement showing a mass effect. We carried out a complete examination, including contrast enhancement, with neuroimaging studies. The operative procedure associated with medical treatment was performed and we obtained a good result.
