Legionnaires' disease is often associated with neurological findings. Despite such findings, computed tomography and neuropathological investigations are typically normal. This report describes a reversible lesion of the corpus callosum identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a patient with legionnaires' disease. MRI may show previously undocumented neuropathology in acute legionnaires' disease. Legionella pneumophila infection should be included in the differential diagnosis of conditions associated with reversible lesions of the corpus callosum.
军团病常伴有神经学表现。尽管有这些表现,但计算机断层扫描和神经病理学检查通常正常。本报告描述了一名军团病患者磁共振成像(MRI)上发现的胼胝体可逆性病变。MRI可能显示急性军团病中以前未记录的神经病理学情况。在与胼胝体可逆性病变相关的疾病鉴别诊断中应考虑嗜肺军团菌感染。
