Abstract
In this study, we report the case of an 8-year-old girl who had three episodes of reversible splenial lesion of the corpus callosum (SCC) in 2 years. Vomiting, hypoglycemia, and fever were followed by altered consciousness and diminished muscle tone. In each episode, the clinical manifestations and abnormalities detected during magnetic resonance imaging resolved in 2 weeks. Transient alteration of vision and spike discharges revealed by interictal electroencephalogram implied the SCC lesions were related to epileptic activities. At follow-up, the patient had not presented with SCC lesions or altered consciousness for more than 4 years after undergoing carbamazepine treatment. Our case is the first report of a patient who presented with three episodes of reversible splenial lesion.
