Abstract
Marburg type is a rare variant of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) characterized by a severe and progressive course/evolution leading to exitus in few months. Its radiological presentation commonly raises suspicion of a malignancy, often requiring a brain biopsy for histological confirmation. Hereby we report an atypical radiological presentation and progression of a pathologically confirmed case of Marburg MS.
