Key result
A 30-year-old woman with rare meningitis retention syndrome and mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion was successfully diagnosed and treated using a multidisciplinary approach.
Why the study?
Meningitis retention syndrome with mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion is rare among adults, and its clinical course and treatment planning remain unknown.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the rare occurrence of MRS with MERS in an adult and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis and treatment.
May inform differentials for rare adult MRS-MERS; leaves open optimal diagnostic and management strategies.
We describe a 30-year-old woman who had meningitis retention syndrome (MRS) with mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS), which occurred with fever, urinary retention, and weakness in both legs. A case of MRS with MERS is rare among adults, and its clinical course and treatment planning remain unknown. In the present, we highlighted the change in magnetic resonance imaging, blood tests, and cerebrospinal tests along with the treatment. A multidisciplinary approach by a radiologist and neurologist led to the diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Usuzaki et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Meningitis retention syndrome (MRS) with mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) (n=1). A 30-year-old woman with rare meningitis retention syndrome and mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion was successfully diagnosed and treated using a multidisciplinary approach.
