Transient Lesion in the Splenium of the Corpus Callosum in an Epileptic Patient
Neurol 60:1838-1841, Mirsattari,S.M.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Pathogenesis of rarely occurring transient, isolated focal lesion of the splenium of the corpus callosum in epilepsy patients is uncertain: frequent seizures or antiepileptic drug reduction causing ischemia or demyelination is possible. The several MRI sequences, including diffusion-weighted imaging, in this first case of occipital epilepsy suggest ischemia from rapid carbamazepine reduction, frequent seizures, or a combination of both.
