Clinically Suspected Tumefactive Demyelination Mimicking a Brain Tumor in a 10‐Year‐Old Boy: A Case Report

Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: After cranial surgery, a 10-year-old boy developed hand weakness, numbness, and fatigue. MRI showed frontoparietal lesions; biopsy lacked documented demyelination. Symptoms and lesions reportedly improved after methylprednisolone. Tumefactive demyelination was suspected, but discordant laterality, unavailable antibody testing, and brief follow-up left the diagnosis unclassified.
