We describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in two patients admitted to our institution with neuropsychiatric symptoms and severe abdominal pain diagnosed as acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). MRI revealed multiple lesions which regressed following treatment. We suggest reversible cerebral vasospasm underlies the MRI abnormalities and the cerebral symptoms in porphyria.
我们描述了两名因神经精神症状和严重腹痛入院的患者的磁共振成像（MRI）表现，这两名患者被诊断为急性间歇性卟啉病（AIP）。MRI显示出多个病变，这些病变在治疗后消退。我们认为可逆性脑血管痉挛是卟啉病MRI异常和脑部症状的基础。
