Case report: Reversible splenial lesion syndrome preceding the onset of multiple sclerosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The reversible splenial lesion syndrome is frequently associated with systemic and central nervous system infections. Whether an infection associated with the occurrence of the reversible splenial lesion syndrome could play a role in the later development of multiple sclerosis is unknown.

Methods

Case Report.

Results

A 27-year-old woman developed an infection-related reversible splenial lesion syndrome. Diagnostic findings did not establish a specific type of infection, but revealed evidence for a potential disposition towards autoimmunity. 32 months after the initial presentation, new clinical and radiological manifestations developed that led to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.

Conclusions

In susceptible individuals, infectious disease processes
