Key result
Rotavirus infection was associated with seizures and an isolated reversible splenial lesion in the corpus callosum in a 2-year-old patient.
Why the study?
Rotavirus causes severe gastroenteritis in children, but central nervous system complications such as seizures and reversible splenial lesions are rarely reported.

Rotavirus infection can be associated with central nervous system complications such as seizures and reversible splenial lesions in the corpus callosum.
Rotavirus is a non-enveloped double-stranded RNA virus that causes severe gastroenteritis in children, but complications are rarely reported. Some reports have shown that rotavirus can induce diverse complications of the central nervous system, such as seizures, encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion, encephalitis, cerebral white matter abnormalities, and cerebellitis. Here, we present a 2-year-old patient with seizures, who had an isolated splenial lesion in the corpus callosum on neuroimaging, and the rotavirus antigen detected in faeces.

Laizāne et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Rotavirus-associated seizures and reversible corpus callosum lesion (n=1). Rotavirus infection was evaluated on Clinical presentation and neuroimaging findings. Rotavirus infection was associated with seizures and an isolated reversible splenial lesion in the corpus callosum in a 2-year-old patient.
