Serial MR imaging in a pediatric patient with recurrent MERS demonstrated varying lesion distribution between episodes with complete resolution after recovery.
Serial MRI in recurrent pediatric MERS may show variable lesions with full resolution; hypothesis-generating for lesion dynamics.
We report serial MR imaging of an 11-year-old boy who had a recurrent episode of clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion. During the first episode, brain lesions were limited to the corpus callosum. However, for the second episode, the lesions were distributed in the corpus callosum and bilateral deep white matter. No abnormality remained in the follow-up MR images obtained after full recovery.
