Cytotoxic lesion of the corpus callosum in pediatrics: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum are considered a clinical-radiological syndrome that generates transitory damage to the corpus callosum; especially in the splenium, with a multicausal origin such as drugs, malignant neoplasms, infections, subarachnoid hemorrhage, metabolic disorders, and traumas. The clinical presentation varies in severity. Some patients have complete recovery in a few days, while others present a more serious clinical, requiring admission to pediatric intensive care. We present a case of a pediatric patient with cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum (CLOCCs) confirmed by brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient was admitted due to gastrointestinal symptoms, progressing to altered consciousness, postural instability, dysarthria, and paroxysmal event
