Summary
Background: Mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is a clinic-radiological syndrome characterized by neurological deficiencies and reversible magnetic resonance imaging findings in the splenium of the corpus callosum. Usually, it has a good prognosis, and patients recover without any sequelae. A viral infection has caused most MERS cases, and bacterial agents have rarely been reported as a cause of MERS.
