Reversible Splenial Lesion Syndrome

Background Reversible splenial lesion syndrome is a distinct entity radiologically characterized by a reversible lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum. According to previous reports, this condition may be associated with antiepileptic drug use or withdrawal. We herein report a case of reversible splenial lesion syndrome associated with oxcarbazepine withdrawal. Case Report A 39-year-old man presented with an 8-year history of epileptic seizures. During the previous 3 years, he had taken oxcarbazepine irregularly. One week prior to admission, he withdrew the oxcarbazepine on his own, and the epilepsy became aggravated. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an isolated lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum with slight hypointensity on T1-weighted imaging and slight hyperintensity on T2-weighted imaging. Regular oxcarbazepine was prescribed. Over a 5-month follow-up period, repeat MRI showed that the abnormal signals in the splenium of the corpus callosum had completely disappeared. Conclusion Reversible splenial lesion syndrome is a rare clinicoradiological disorder that can resolve spontaneously with a favorable outcome. Clinicians should be aware of this condition and that oxcarbazepine withdrawal is a possible etiological factor.

ABSTRACTMild encephalitis with reversible lesion in the splenium is a clinicoradiological syndrome characterized by a variegated symptomatology with a solitary mass in the central portion of the splenium of the corpus callosum. Complete spontaneous resolution is the hallmark of this syndrome, though its pathogenesis is still unknown. We describe the clinical picture of a 51-year-old woman who developed a partial sensitive seizure, with MRI evidence of a lesion localized in the posterior portion of the corpus callosum. The patient made a full recovery thanks to the administration of antiepileptic drugs. Acquiring knowledge of this syndrome, in the wide diagnostic panel which includes vertebrobasilar diseases besides the broad range of metabolic and electrolyte disorders, is crucial to a prompt clinical diagnosis and in establishing a reliable prognosis at an early stage.
