Sommario Descriviamo il decorso clinico, la terapia e i quadri di risonanza magnetica durante un periodo di quattro anni di una paziente affetta da sclerosi multipla acuta tipo Marburg, trattata con steroidi e mannitolo, che sopravvisse al primo attacco. Sebbene il decorso clinico era simile ad una forma remittente di sclerosi multipla, il nostro caso si caratterizzava per la necessità di una protratta terapia steroidea e per la tendenza delle lesioni presenti alla risonanza magnetica di risolversi completamente.
Notes:
Abstract We describe the clinical course, treatment and magnetic resonance findings during a four-year follow-up of a patient with acute multiple sclerosis of the Marburg type, treated with steroid and mannitol therapy, who survived the first bout. Although the course of the disease was clinically indistinguishable from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, our case was characterized by peculiar features. These included the need for protracted steroid therapy and the remarkable tendency of MRI lesions to resolve completely.
