There is a focal lesion of the splenium of the corpus callosum with T1 iso-intense signal, high signal on T2, and FLAIR and restriction of diffusion with no enhancement.
Case Discussion
Cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum (CLOCC) are acquired lesions. CLOCC are secondary lesions associated with various entities including seizure(with or without antiepileptic medication), metabolic disorders, (such as hypoglycemia, hypernatremia, acute alcohol poisoning, malnutrition, and Vit B12 deficiency ), malignancy, lupus erythematosus, eclampsia and status migrainosus.
Follow-up is recommended.
