Mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) should be considered in adults presenting with encephalopathy following a prodromal illness, as it has an excellent prognosis with supportive care.
Lingling Zhuang (2025) conducted a case report in Mild Encephalitis/Encephalopathy With a Reversible Splenial Lesion (MERS) Type II (n=1). Supportive care (anti-infectives and hyponatremia correction) was evaluated on Clinical and radiological resolution. Supportive care and correction of hyponatremia led to complete clinical and radiological resolution of MERS type II within one week in a 28-year-old man.
