Isolated splenial lesion in the corpus callosum in combination with urinary retention in a case of aseptic meningoencephalitis
نویسندگان
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.

BACKGROUND Reversible splenial lesion syndrome (RESLES) is a rare clinico-radiological disorder with unclear pathophysiology. Clinically, RESLES is defined as reversible isolated splenial lesions in the corpus callosum, which can be readily identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and usually resolve completely over a period of time. RESLES could be typically triggered by infection, antie...
