[Abstract] Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) is a rare and intriguing form of central nervous system demyelinating disorder. It is often misdiagnosed as intracranial gliomas, lymphoma, etc. Thus correct diagnosis can avoid unnecessary surgery and radiotherapy damage. This article aims to review the imaging advances of TDLs and to propose an approach to differential diagnosis of this disease.
