Abstract
Transient splenial lesion(TSL) is seen in a variety of conditions and is detectable only on MRI of the brain. Dengue fever (DF) is a common viral infection encountered in the tropics. The affected patients may face neurological complications like encephalopathy and intracranial haemorrhage, or even ischaemic stroke. Non-cirrhotic hyperammonaemia is a rare scenario; and its occurrence in DF is unknown. The patient being described had DF and developed dysarthria. His MRI brain showed splenial hyperintensity. Further evaluation revealed non-cirrhotic hyperammonaemia. To the best of our knowledge, TSL due to non-cirrhotic hyperammonaemia in DF is an unreported scenario. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2019.
