title: The enigma of transient splenial hyperintensity: In cryptococcal meningitis.
abstract: Transient hyperintensity in splenium of corpus callosum is a relatively infrequent finding in MRI. Although it has been most consistently linked with frequent seizure episodes, many other possible causes have been proposed by different workers. Cryptococcal meningitis as a cause of transient splenial hyperintensity has never been reported till date. Here, we report a young girl who is congenitally immunodeficient and had suffered from cryptococcal meningitis with typical transient splenial hyperintense lesions in MRI.
