Adult mild encephalitis with reversible splenial lesion and catatonia: A case report
The relationship between corpus callosum and schizophrenia is elusive.

| description | The relationship between corpus callosum and schizophrenia is elusive. Neuropsychiatric symptoms in Mild encephalitis with reversible splenial lesion (MERS) such as delirium, and negativism, suggest a link between corpus callosum and psychiatric disturbances.Here in, we report catatonia as an initial symptom of MERS in a schizophrenic patient.The aim of this study is to discuss the likely causal relationship between catatonic syndrome and MERS.To the best of our knowledge, the catatonia was not reported before as a prodromal symptom of MERS. We therefore report this case in order to enlarge the spectrum of MERS symptoms in psychiatric patients and discuss the relationship between catatonia and splenium lesions. |
