Marchiafava-Bignami disease with hyperintensity on late diffusion-weighted imaging
A 69-year-old man with a decades-long history of chronic alcohol consumption was admitted with gait disturbance (short steps and spasticity), deterioration of activity, and stuporous consciousness. Head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed hyperintensity on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging in the corpus callosum and frontal white matter. The lesion later became more apparent on ...
متن کامل[Marchiafava-Bignami disease].
One case of subacute development of Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is reported. The clinical characteristics and pathogenetic aspects of the disease are discussed. The usage of MRI in the diagnosis of MBD before the patient's death was the first ever in China.
متن کاملCortical involvement in Marchiafava-Bignami disease.
Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD), a rare complication of chronic alcoholism, is characterized by primary demyelination of the corpus callosum. We report two cases of MBD in which fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and diffusion-weighted imaging studies revealed symmetrical hyperintense lesions in the cerebral cortex (particularly in the lateral-frontal regions) in addition to the call...
متن کاملMarchiafava–Bignami disease in chronic alcoholic patient
Marchiafava-Bignami disease is a rare toxic encephalopathy seen mostly in chronic alcoholics due to progressive demyelination and necrosis of the corpus callosum. It may involve adjacent white matter and subcortical regions. We present here the magnetic resonance imaging findings of Machiafava-Bignami disease in a chronic alcoholic patient. In 1903, Italian pathologists Marchiafava and Bignami ...
متن کاملMarchiafava-Bignami disease: longitudinal MR imaging and MR spectroscopy study.
A case of Marchiafava-Bignami disease was serially evaluated with MR imaging and MR spectroscopy at 1, 2, 4, and 11 months after the onset of symptoms. The first MR imaging study showed extensive abnormal signal intensity of the corpus callosum without macroscopic changes; a diagnosis of Marchiafava-Bignami disease was made, and vitamin therapy was initiated. Follow-up studies showed progressiv...
