Abstract
- Marburg variant is a severe and fulminant pseudotumor form of multiple sclerosis (MS) with high morbidity and mortality rates. Because of its scarcity, it remains incompletely characterized and physicians' experiences will influence the treatment. We report the inflammatory explosive case of a 31-year-old woman presenting with rapid neurological degradation of histology proven Marburg's disease, successfully treated with early administration of Mitoxantrone (MITX). To our knowledge, it is the first case describing complete remission after MITX in a biopsy-proven condition.<br /> (© 2021. The Author(s).)
