Marchiafava-Bignami Disease (MBD) is a toxic demyelinating disease often diagnosed in chronic alcoholics. The disease process typically involves the corpus callosum and clinically presents with various manifestations resulting in MBD type A and type B on the basis of clinical condition, extent of callosal involvement and extracallosal involvement at brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and prognosis. The death rate is high. We report a patient affected by MBD type B, who presented an isolated reversible splenial lesion at brain MRI and achieved a favorable recovery.
马奇亚法瓦-比尼亚米病(MBD)是一种常发生于慢性酒精中毒者的中毒性脱髓鞘疾病。疾病进程通常累及胼胝体,临床上根据临床状况、胼胝体受累程度、脑磁共振成像(MRI)检查时胼胝体外受累情况及预后,会出现各种表现,从而分为A型和B型马奇亚法瓦-比尼亚米病。死亡率很高。我们报告了1例B型马奇亚法瓦-比尼亚米病患者,其脑MRI表现为孤立的可逆性压部病变,最终恢复良好。
