Transient isolated lesion of the splenium associated with clinically mild influenza encephalitis

Srinivas Ganapathy et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2008 Nov.

Abstract

Transient isolated lesions of the splenium with restricted diffusion are rare in the pediatric population. We report two such cases with influenza-associated encephalitis/encephalopathy (IAEE). These reversible isolated central splenial lesions are not specific for IAEE, but the notable feature associated with this specific presentation is a comparatively milder form of encephalitis that resolves clinically and radiologically within a short time.
