Balo's concentric sclerosis is regarded as a rare variant of multiple sclerosis.

Brain MRI findings of Balo's concentric sclerosis is characteristic concentric configuration of alternating bands of white matter of different pathology, with relatively preserved myelination alternating with regions of demyelination in the cerebral white matter. We report a case of Balo's concentric sclerosis with recurrent optic neuritis. Key Words: Balo's concentric sclerosis, Multiple sclerosis
