The relationship between corpus callosum and schizophrenia is elusive. Neuropsychiatric symptoms in Mild encephalitis with reversible splenial lesion (MERS) such as delirium, and negativism, suggest a link between corpus callosum and psychiatric disturbances. Here in, we report catatonia as an initial symptom of MERS in a schizophrenic patient. The aim of this study is to discuss the likely causal relationship between catatonic syndrome and MERS. To the best of our knowledge, the catatonia was not reported before as a prodromal symptom of MERS. We therefore report this case in order to enlarge the spectrum of MERS symptoms in psychiatric patients and discuss the relationship between catatonia and splenium lesions.
胼胝体与精神分裂症之间的关系尚不明确。轻度脑炎伴可逆性胼胝体压部病变（MERS）中的神经精神症状，如谵妄和违拗症，提示胼胝体与精神障碍之间存在联系。在此，我们报告1例精神分裂症患者以紧张症为MERS的首发症状。本研究的目的是探讨紧张症综合征与MERS之间可能的因果关系。据我们所知，此前尚未有将紧张症作为MERS前驱症状的报道。因此，我们报告该病例以扩大MERS在精神科患者中的症状谱，并讨论紧张症与胼胝体压部病变之间的关系。
