Statistical Analysis of the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient in Patients with Clinically Mild Encephalitis/Encephalopathy with a Reversible Splenial Lesion Indicates That the Pathology Extends Well beyond the Visible Lesions.

CONCLUSION: The genu showed a slight restriction in diffusion in the acute stage of type I MERS. After treatment, this diffusion restriction diminished as it typically does in the splenium. Our results indicate that the pathology in MERS extends well beyond the visible lesions. PMID: 30956273 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
