Reversible Corpus Callosum Lesion in Legionnaires Disease JNNP 75:651-654, Morgan, J.C.,et al, 2004 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract 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.
