Cytotoxic Lesion of the Corpus Callosum Caused by Puumala Hantavirus Infection

Cytotoxic Lesion of the Corpus Callosum Caused by Puumala Hantavirus Infection

We report the case of a 45-year-old male referred to our hospital with fever, asthenia, visual disturbances and increasing headaches. Diffusion-weighted imaging of the brain showed high signal intensity in the splenium of corpus callosum with low apparent diffusion coefficient values. Diagnosis of c...
