Reversible lesions of the splenium of the corpus callosum constitute a clinicoradiological syndrome that has been associated to various medical conditions. We report the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with encephalopathy associated to auto-immune thyroid disease in which a reversible splenial lesion was isolated. Although encephalopathy associated to auto-immune thyroid disease is characterized by variable radiological findings, it has only been once associated with a reversible splenial lesion.

Background: The reversible splenial lesion syndrome is frequently associated with systemic and central nervous system infections. Whether an infection associated with the occurrence of the reversible splenial lesion syndrome could play a role in the later development of multiple sclerosis is unknown.
Methods: Case Report.

Article Synopsis
- MERS is a mild brain inflammation condition that can be linked to various pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, but this is the first case of MERS associated with RSV in an adult.
- A 29-year-old Chinese woman exhibited symptoms like fever and altered mental state, with tests confirming RSV infection; brain imaging revealed abnormalities which improved after treatment.
- This case highlights the need to consider MERS as a potential diagnosis in patients with respiratory infections who show neurological symptoms.
