Mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is a rare clinico-radiological entity, which is characterized by transient abnormalities in the splenium of the corpus callosum (SCC) associated with mild central nervous system (CNS) symptoms. MERS is often described in children, unlike in adults, which is rare. Its etiologies are variable, dominated by infectious causes. Its reversibility and favorable prognosis make all the particularity of this syndrome.
