Wernicke's encephalopathy, a neurologic disease caused by thiamine deficiency, is observed chiefly in chronic alcoholics. We performed magnetic resonance imaging and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in an alcoholic patient who had developed Wernicke's encephalopathy. Although cranial MRI detected no pathology, brain SPECT revealed bilateral frontal and frontoparietal hypoperfusion as well as right basal ganglia hypoperfusion.
韦尼克脑病是一种由硫胺素缺乏引起的神经系统疾病，主要见于慢性酗酒者。我们对一名已患上韦尼克脑病的酗酒患者进行了磁共振成像（MRI）和单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）检查。尽管头颅MRI未发现病变，但脑部SPECT显示双侧额叶和额顶叶灌注不足以及右侧基底节灌注不足。
