    Diagnosis of relapsing鈥搑emitting multiple sclerosis requires demonstration disseminated symptoms in time and space on the basis of neurological assessment or magnetic resonance imaging findings. In addition, the diagnosis is conditioned by ruling out other conditions that may explain the clinical symptoms. We describe the patient presenting in the initial stage of the disease neurological symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging lesions, that met criteria for relapsing鈥搑emitting multiple sclerosis diagnosis. The patient was administered immunomodulatory treatment. However, the subsequent course of the disease tended to verify the diagnosis. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with intravascular B-cell lymphoma. Intravascular lymphoma is a rare form of lymphoma characterized by the development of cancerous cells in the lumen of small and medium-sized blood vessels. Due to the lack of characteristic biomarkers in laboratory tests and neuroimaging, the diagnosis is based on histopathological examination of the sample of the affected organ taken by biopsy. It should be consider in all cases of central nervous system damage of unknown, undiagnosed etiology

    Centralna mielinoliza mostu jest niezapaln膮, demielinizacyjn膮 chorob膮 o艣rodkowego uk艂adu nerwowego. To najcz臋stsza manifestacja zespo艂u demielinizacji osmotycznej, b臋d膮cego zazwyczaj jatrogennym powik艂aniem zbyt szybko wyr贸wnywanej, ci臋偶kiej, zagra偶aj膮cej 偶yciu hiponatremii. Wi膮偶e si臋 z wyst膮pieniem powa偶nych objaw贸w neurologicznych, cz臋sto prowadz膮cych do niesprawno艣ci lub zgonu. Poni偶ej przedstawiono przypadek chorej z hiponatremi膮, nadu偶ywaj膮cej alkoholu, u kt贸rej na podstawie objaw贸w klinicznych i wyniku badania rezonansu magnetycznego rozpoznano zesp贸艂 demielinizacji osmotycznej z centraln膮 mielinoliz膮 mostu. Om贸wiono tak偶e etiopatogenez臋 oraz obraz kliniczny centralnej mielinolizy mostu
