Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used for the diagnosis of multifocal lesions of the white matter of the central nervous system (CNS). The review contains the main points of differential diagnosis of demyelinating diseases (multiple sclerosis, acute disseminated en-cephalomyelitis, neuromyelitis optica, Balo’s concentric sclerosis, Schilder’s diffuse sclerosis) and other lesions of the brain and spinal cord white matter - infectious, toxic, hypoxic-ischemic in nature.
