Diagnosis of Transient Brain Lesion in the Corpus Callosum Splenium in Emergency Service and Elucidation of Accompanying Conditions
Abstract
Corpus Callosum Cytotoxic Lesion (CLOCCs) once rarely seen in the literature has been more often diagnosed in emergency services nowadays with widespread use of cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CLOCCs is defined as a clinical and radiological spectrum disorder. Patient’s neurological symptoms usually improve completely within 1 month after the onset of the disease without any sequel. This is generally associated with cytotoxic edema of the splenium corpus callosum. It is important investigate the primary causes that lead to this condition and start the appropriate treatment according to the real diagnosis. We present a case diagnosed as CLOCCs secondary to pneumonia upon admission to our emergency service.
