Abstract:
Reversible splenial lesion syndrome （RESLES） is an imaging syndrome involving splenial lesion due to various etiologies including infection， metabolic disorder， and seizure. Lyme neuroborreliosis mainly manifests as painful sensory radiculitis， lymphocytic meningitis， and cranial neuritis （especially facial neuritis）， and uncommon manifestations include encephalitis， myelitis， and cerebral vasculitis， with an extremely rare manifestation of reversible splenial lesion caused by Lyme disease. This article reports a patient with Lyme disease manifesting as RESLES who were admitted to The Second People's Hospital of Guiyang， in order to raise the awareness about the disease.
