چکیده

Introduction: Aseptic meningoencephalitis in rare instances can present radiologically as a reversible isolated splenial lesion in corpus callosum (Reversible Splenial Lesion Syndrome or RSLS). Patients rarely develop temporary urinary retention, previously described as the meningitis­retention syndrome. Case Report: We report a case of a 28­year­old woman with aseptic meningoencephalitis with an unusual combination of RSLS and urinary retention. A complete resolution of neurological symptoms and urinary retention was noted within two months. Conclusion: In cases of aseptic meningoencephalitis, RSLS and urinary retention are good prognostic factors and are associated with complete recovery.
