Butterfly lesion of the corpus callosum due to Schilder's disease.
A 50 year old woman developed memory impairment and confusion over a 2 week period. CT scans of the brain showed a 'butterfly lesion' of the corpus callosum extending into the frontal lobes bilaterally. Stereotactic biopsy determined the lesion to be du e to demyelination. Further diagnostic investigations and the subsequent clinical course support the diagnosis of Schilder's disease.
