Conclusion

Transient splenial lesions are reversible and can be seen in various clinical conditions, with good clinical outcomes in the cases presented.

Supporting Evidence

  • The lesions were seen in the splenium of the corpus callosum and showed complete or partial resolution on follow-up scans.
  • Both patients had good clinical outcomes after the lesions were identified and monitored.

Takeaway

Transient splenial lesions are unusual findings in the brain that can go away on their own, and doctors need to recognize them to avoid confusion with more serious issues.

Methodology

The study involved MRI imaging of two patients with transient splenial lesions, followed by clinical assessments and follow-up scans.

Limitations

The study is based on only two cases, which may limit the generalizability of the findings.

Participant Demographics

One 17-year-old female and one 18-year-old male.
