Abstract
- Reversible splenial lesion syndrome (RESLES) is a complex clinicoradiological entity that has been reported to occur secondary to several disorders, including acute encephalitis/encephalopathy. On magnetic resonance imaging, it presents as reversible hyperintense signal lesions on diffusion-weighted images and hypointense on apparent diffusion coefficient images. Most case of RESLES associated with encephalitis/encephalopathy have a good prognosis, but some require intensive care or have poor prognosis. We report a case of RESLES associated with encephalitis/encephalopathy in which neurological deterioration improved after steroid treatment.
