A Rare Case of Central Nervous System Tuberculosis Presenting as Transient Splenial Lesion: Case Report and Literature Review (P1.320)

Conclusions:Based on literature review, the transient splenial lesion of corpus callosum has never been reported in patients with CNS tuberculosis. The mechanisms underlying transient splenial lesions may due to intramyelinic edema and inflammatory cell infiltration. This hypothesis supported by the MR spectroscopy findings in our patient. Since early diagnosis and treatment can reduce mortality and morbidity, patients with isolated splenial lesion warrant diagnostic tests for CNS tuberculosis.Study Supported by:The authors report no disclosures relevant to the manuscript.Disclosure: Dr. Wu has nothing to disclose.
