Abstract
Reversible lesions of the splenium of the corpus callosum constitute a clinicoradiological syndrome that has been associated to various medical conditions. We report the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with encephalopathy associated to auto-immune thyroid disease in which a reversible splenial lesion was isolated. Although encephalopathy associated to auto-immune thyroid disease is characterized by variable radiological findings, it has only been once associated with a reversible splenial lesion.
