Abstract: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system, which affects young people. A large percentage of the patients falls between the ages of 30 and 50 years. Less frequently, MS is first diagnosed after the age of 50, which is by definition called Late Onset Multiple Sclerosis (LOMS) [1-4] Roughly, around 4.5 % of MS cases are late onset. Scarcely ever, it affects people older than 60 years. Commonly observed characteristics of LOMS include primary progressive clinical course, more common involvement of Spinal cord and a rarity of Gadolinium enhancing lesions [1,2]. The case presented below, however, depicts quite a deviation and shows how divergent LOMS might be in its presentation, Imaging findings and prognosis.
