Özet: Aim: A 23-year-old female patient diagnosed corpus callosum infarction with conversion findings was presented with the clinical laboratory and radiographic findings. Case: The patient who had no previous illness had a successful cesarean operation 15 days ago. The patient came to our emergency service due to the current symptoms such as impaired vision, collapse due to the disorder in sight, tremoring hands, and saying nonsense words. No significant findings were found in the blood tests at the emergency service performed on the patient. Cerebral MRI venography and cerebral diffusion MRI were tested on the patient. Cerebral diffuse MRI of the patient showed an infarct compatible lesion with diffuse limitation measured with the dimensions of AP 10.5 mm (ML 16 mm at its widest point) in the level of the corpus callosum splenium. Conclusion: The clinical indications that result from corpus callosum abnormalities vary. In approximately one-third of patients, psychiatric tables develop. However, corpus callosum infarction, which begins with pure psychiatric findings, is rarely observed in the literature. This case was written due to the presence of concomitant corpus callosum inflation with conversion findings.
