title: Bilateral reversible thalamic lesions on computed tomography.
abstract: Bilateral approximately symmetrical hypodense areas located in the thalamus were encountered in two patients who recovered clinically. Regression of the lesions could be observed on CT. The clinical symptoms corresponded to the thalamic location. Since these two patients recovered, no autopsy material is available to prove the nature of the causative lesion, although the etiology is most probably inflammatory.
