Transient splenial lesion in a case with carbon monoxide poisoning: A clue supporting the excitotoxicity hypothesis?

Abstract

Transient splenial lesions of the corpus callosum are uncommon radiologic findings seen in a number of clinical conditions. Awareness of these lesions is crucial to prevent further invasive investigation and intervention. We report a unique case of transient splenial lesion in a patient with carbon monoxide poisoning.
