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.
