Clinical characteristics and MR imaging features of nonalcoholic Wernicke encephalopathy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Nonalcoholic Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) is prone to be underestimated in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to improve its awareness and early accurate diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of the cases of 12 patients with nonalcoholic WE, consisting of clinical characteristics and MR imaging features as well as follow-up a...
متن کاملMR imaging can predict the development of nonalcoholic Wernicke encephalopathy.
Wernicke Encephalopathy We read with great interest the article by Fei et al in which symmetric paraventricular regions in MR imaging were shown to be useful in the diagnosis of nonalcoholic Wernicke encephalopathy (WE). Among clinical studies, MR imaging is currently considered the most valuable method for confirming a diagnosis of WE, though the typical findings of MR imaging are observed in ...
متن کاملMR Imaging of nonalcoholic Wernicke encephalopathy: a follow-up study.
We investigated the correlation of MR imaging features with the pathological evolution and prognosis of nonalcoholic Wernicke encephalopathy. A retrospective review and analysis was conducted of 6 cases of nonalcoholic Wernicke encephalopathy, consisting of MR imaging features, clinical characteristics, and outcomes after thiamine administration. One patient died, 1 patient entered a persistent...
متن کاملWernicke encephalopathy: MR findings at clinical presentation in twenty-six alcoholic and nonalcoholic patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Wernicke encephalopathy is a severe neurologic disorder that results from a dietary vitamin B1 deficiency. It is characterized by changes in consciousness, ocular abnormalities, and ataxia. This study was undertaken to analyze and compare findings on MR imaging and neurologic symptoms at clinical presentations of patients with Wernicke encephalopathy with and without a hi...
متن کاملProton MR spectroscopy of Wernicke encephalopathy.
Two patients with acute thiamine deficiency were examined with thalamic single-voxel proton MR spectroscopy. T2-weighted images exhibited increased signal intensity. N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/creatine (Cr) ratios were low without detectable lactate. Owing to substantially decreased choline (Cho) T2, the Cho/Cr ratio was not decreased. After thiamine therapy, the NAA/Cr ratio increased, parallelin...
