Transient Lesion in the Splenium of the Corpus Callosum and Antiepileptic Drug Withdrawal
Neurol 65:1032-1036, Gurtler,S.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A lesion of the splenium of the corpus callosum in patients with epilepsy is not associated with toxic drug effects or high seizure frequency, but might be induced by a rapid and relatively long-lasting reduction of antiepileptic drugs. Its frequency might be underestimated as MRI after long-term monitoring is rarely done.
