Baló's concentric sclerosis (BCS) lesions display specific metabolite changes detected by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). We report on two cases of BCS lesions examined by MRS; the first case was evaluated 36 days after the onset of symptoms, whereas the second case was evaluated 9 days after the onset of symptoms. MRS data were obtained from single voxels located in the lesion and in the contralateral region. Relative to the creatine/phosphocreatine peak, BCS lesions displayed decreases of N-acetyl aspartate and increases of choline, myo-inositol (mI), glutamine/glutamate (Glx), lactate and lipid+macromolecule signals, in agreement with previous reports. In addition, previously unreported decreases of mI (-19% to -29%) and increases of Glx (+55% to +198%) were measured; these could be useful in characterizing BCS lesions.
