MERS - Mild encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion of the corpus callosum is a clinical-radiological syndrome characterized by acute mild encephalopathy and reversible SCC changes in diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) of the brain. It is described in connection with infection, especially viral. The prognosis is generally favourable. Most patients have complete resolution of symptoms within one month without long-term neurological sequelae. We present a case of a ten-year-old boy with sudden dysarthria and a clinical-radiological image which is consistent with this syndrome.

Keywords: encephalopathy, infection, magnetic resonance imaging, reversible lesion, splenium of the corpus callosum.
