Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical and MRI characteristics of reversible splenial lesion syndrome (RESLES).Methods The clinical data,MRI features and follow-up results of 18 patients with RESLES were analyzed retrospectively.Results The average age of the patients was younger,and 5 cases were below 1 5 years old.Clinical history and MRI features were characterized.About 67%(12/18)patients had fever,headache,encephalitis,history,without long history of alcohol abuse.MRI revealed that the lesions of splenial of corpus callosum were solitary nodule with clear boundary.The lesions were slightly hyperintensity on T2 WI and obviouslyhyperintensity on FLAIR and DWI,while the they show hypointensity on ADC with the ADC value <1×10-3 mm2/s.No edema or significant enhancement were observed.The lesions may completely disappear or relief on DWI after short treatment.Conclusion RESLES is a rare entity with a broad clinicoradiological spectrum.The MRI features are characteristic,and it will provide helpful information for diagnosis, differential diagnosis and clinical treatment.
