Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Aseptic meningoencephalitis in rare instances can present radiologically as a reversible isolated splenial lesion in corpus callosum (Reversible Splenial Lesion Syndrome or RSLS). Patients rarely develop temporary urinary retention, previously described as the meningitis-retention syndrome.
Case Report: We report a case report of a 28 year old woman with aseptic meningoencephalitis with an unusual combination of RSLS and urinary retention. A complete resolution of neurological symptoms and urinary retention was noted within two months. Conclusion: In cases of aseptic meningoencephalitis, RSLS and urinary retention are good prognostic factors and are associated with complete recovery. | |
