An aim of the study was to establish MRT signs that may be useful for differential diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Three groups of patients have been examined: 300 patients with MS, 35 with demyelinating diseases (acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, neuromyelitis optica--Devic's syndrome); 90 patients with systemic autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, primary antiphospholipid syndrome, sclerodermatitis, Sjugren's syndrome, autoimmune thyroiditis, vasculitis and vasculopathy). Classification of MRT syndromes in MS and their frequency are presented: syndrome of chronic inflammatory demyelination (79%), syndrome of acute inflammatory demyelination (9%), syndrome of multifocal degenerative leucoencephalopathy (8%), syndrome of combined multifocal diffusive leucoencephalopathy (4%). The similarity and differences in MRT semiotics of the above diseases and MS are described.

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor is a rare, highly malignant central nervous system tumor most commonly occurring in very young children. Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor most often presents as an expanding mass with symptoms consistent with the location of the tumor and may present with metastatic leptomeningeal disease. The authors describe 2 cases of rapidly progressive, diffuse leptomeningeal atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor without a solid primary mass. These cases demonstrate a clinical picture that can easily be confused with a basilar meningitis, encephalomyelitis, or vasculitis.
