Cytotoxic Lesion of the Corpus Callosum Caused by Puumala Hantavirus Infection

We report the case of a 45-year-old male referred to our hospital with fever, asthenia, visual disturbances and increasing headaches. Diffusion-weighted imaging of the brain showed high signal intensity in the splenium of corpus callosum with low apparent diffusion coefficient values. Diagnosis of c...

description We report the case of a 45-year-old male referred to our hospital with fever, asthenia, visual disturbances and increasing headaches. Diffusion-weighted imaging of the brain showed high signal intensity in the splenium of corpus callosum with low apparent diffusion coefficient values. Diagnosis of cytotoxic lesion of corpus callosum was made with Puumala Hantavirus infection serologically confirmed and should not be mistaken for ischemia. Patient was discharged 8 days after admission and imaging findings had resolved 3 weeks later.
