Abstract

Schilder's disease is a rare and aggressive central nervous system demyelinating disorder that is typically monophasic and steroid responsive. Here, we present an unusual case of a teenager with Schilder's disease who was treated with corticosteroids and had a clinical and radiographic recurrence nearly one year after the initial presentation.

Keywords: Myelinoclastic diffuse sclerosis; Rituxumab; Schilder's disease; Tumefactive multiple sclerosis.
