Reversible Splenial Lesion Syndrome

Background Reversible splenial lesion syndrome is a distinct entity radiologically characterized by a reversible lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum. According to previous reports, this condition may be associated with antiepileptic drug use or withdrawal. We herein report a case of reversible splenial lesion syndrome associated with oxcarbazepine withdrawal. Case Report A 39-year-old man presented with an 8-year history of epileptic seizures. During the previous 3 years, he had taken oxcarbazepine irregularly. One week prior to admission, he withdrew the oxcarbazepine on his own, and the epilepsy became aggravated. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an isolated lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum with slight hypointensity on T1-weighted imaging and slight hyperintensity on T2-weighted imaging. Regular oxcarbazepine was prescribed. Over a 5-month follow-up period, repeat MRI showed that the abnormal signals in the splenium of the corpus callosum had completely disappeared. Conclusion Reversible splenial lesion syndrome is a rare clinicoradiological disorder that can resolve spontaneously with a favorable outcome. Clinicians should be aware of this condition and that oxcarbazepine withdrawal is a possible etiological factor.

The purpose of this article is to report a case study of the effect of therapeutic drumming on motor, communication skills, and behavior of a preteen diagnosed with agenesis of the corpus callosum. This 12-year-old participated in 30- to 45-minute weekly sessions over a 12-month period in which rudimentary drumming exercises were used to analyze and then measure any changes in equilibrium reactions, postural transfers, and trunk control. Measurable documentation evidenced marked improvement in motor skills while suggesting communication and behavioral improvement. The findings support the theory that therapeutic drumming would benefit preteens with agenesis of the corpus callosum, which provides promising evidence to other neurologic developmental diagnoses and therefore indicates a need for further research. While the therapeutic nature of music is well documented, how the listener participates can influence the effect of the music. For example, passive music listening can improve pain or anxiety, however, active music listening with expected intentional action may improve physical, mental, behavioral, and spiritual healing. Active music listening could be a valuable holistic nursing intervention.

ABSTRACTMild encephalitis with reversible lesion in the splenium is a clinicoradiological syndrome characterized by a variegated symptomatology with a solitary mass in the central portion of the splenium of the corpus callosum. Complete spontaneous resolution is the hallmark of this syndrome, though its pathogenesis is still unknown. We describe the clinical picture of a 51-year-old woman who developed a partial sensitive seizure, with MRI evidence of a lesion localized in the posterior portion of the corpus callosum. The patient made a full recovery thanks to the administration of antiepileptic drugs. Acquiring knowledge of this syndrome, in the wide diagnostic panel which includes vertebrobasilar diseases besides the broad range of metabolic and electrolyte disorders, is crucial to a prompt clinical diagnosis and in establishing a reliable prognosis at an early stage.

Abstract Objective The corpus callosum is a major white matter pathway of the brain that coordinates the transfer of information between both cerebral hemispheres. Children with complete agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) are at increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, epilepsy, and genetic abnormalities. Method This case study presents the neuropsychological profile of a 6-year-old girl in the 1st grade who was born with complete ACC and presented with a history of attention problems and behavioral-emotional difficulties. Results Neuropsychological testing revealed mild to severe deficits in attention, executive functioning, and self-regulation in the context of average intellectual functioning and broadly average to above-average academic achievement. Conclusions School recommendations included establishing a 504 plan and weekly counseling sessions with the school social worker in order to provide accommodations to support the child’s attention difficulties in the academic setting. Recommendations for genetic testing and ongoing monitoring by the patient’s neurologist were suggested given the higher rates of genetic abnormalities and seizures in children with ACC as these conditions can adversely impact neurodevelopmental outcomes. Medication management, as well as private behavior therapy with a parent-training component, were recommended for interventions to address the child’s deficits with attention and behavioral regulation. This case study demonstrates the need for prompt neuropsychological evaluation for children with ACC in order to more efficiently facilitate access to targeted assessments and treatments that can lead to improved outcomes.
