ABSTRACT
A complex neurological syndrome, which rapidly appeared in a 54-year-old woman, created strong diagnostic difficulties. In fact, while the carotid-angiography was negative and CSF not significant, the scintigraphy suggested a multifocal metastatic or infarctual pathology. The CT scan easily allowed us to resolve the diagnostic problem, showing in the oval centres numerous enhanced areas which were consistent with a disseminated leuco-encephalitis. This case confirmed the opinion of the authors that CT scan may usefully contribute to the diagnosis of the demyelinating disorders of CNS.
