Mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion mimicking transient ischemic attack

Acute urinary retention in a 23-year-old woman with mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion: a case report

INTRODUCTION Patients with clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion present with relatively mild central nervous system disturbances. Although the exact etiology of the condition remains poorly understood, it is thought to be associated with infective agents. We present a case of a patient with mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesi...

A reversible stroke-like splenial lesion in viral encephalopathy.

PURPOSE An ovoid reversible lesion in the central portion of the splenium of the corpus callosum without any accompanying lesions in MRI was uncommon in patients with encephalitis. We aim to report a virus-related encephalitis patient presenting with a reversible isolated ovoid lesion in splenium, mimicking acute infarction. CASE REPORT A 32 years old previously healthy man suffered from inte...

Rotavirus-associated mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS)—case report and review of the literature

BACKGROUND Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe gastroenteritis in children under the age of 5 years worldwide. It is well recognised that rotavirus can cause signs and symptoms beyond the gastrointestinal tract, including neurological manifestations such as encephalopathy. Mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is a clinico-radiological syndrome that has been asso...

Clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion associated with aseptic meningoencephalitis

Detection of group a rotavirus RNA and antigens in serum and cerebrospinal fluid from two children with clinically mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion.

We report on two children with mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion associated with group A rotavirus (GARV) infection. We examined stool, serum, and cerebrospinal fluid samples to determine the presence of the GARV VP7 gene and GARV antigen by reverse-transcription PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. GARV antigen was detected in stool samples from both pat...
