Mild encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is a rare clinical-radiological syndrome with a favorable prognosis that typically presents with central nervous system symptoms such as altered mental status, delirious behavior, seizures, muscle weakness, ophthalmoplegia, and headache.

Both clinical and imaging findings generally resolve within a few months.
