Description

Cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum (CLOCCs) are transient, reversible lesions that can have very different clinical causes. They are usually located dorsally in the splenium (barred bulge). For this reason, there are other names for CLOCCs that place more emphasis on reversibility, such as "reversible lesion syndrome of the splenium (RESLES)" or "mild encephalopathy/encephalitis with reversible splenium lesions (MERS)" [Tetsuka S. Brain and Behavior 2019; 9: e01440].

Abstract (German)

Bei den zytotoxischen Läsionen des Corpus callosum (CLOCCs) handelt es sich um vorübergehende, reversible Läsionen, die ganz verschiedene klinische Ursachen haben können. Sie liegen meist dorsalseitig im Splenium (Balkenwulst). Für die CLOCCs gibt es deshalb auch andere Bezeichnungen, welche die Reversibilität mehr in den Vordergrund stellen wie z.B. das "Reversible Läsionssyndrom des Spleniums (RESLES)" oder auch die "Milde Enzephalopathie/Enzephalitis mit reversiblen Spleniumläsionen (MERS)" [Tetsuka S. Brain and Behavior 2019; 9: e01440]. (© Thieme. All rights reserved)
