Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is a rare vitamin B deficiency classically associated with alcoholism. MBD damages the corpus callosum and presents with nonspecific neurological symptoms. Radiological imaging is critical for diagnosing MBD and commencing subsequent treatment, which often consists of vitamin B supplementation. We present a case of MBD in a 56-year-old male with alcohol use disorder, epilepsy, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and cardiovascular risk factors. The patient presented with general neurological symptoms, and there were several potential diagnoses to consider based on the patient's history. Radiological imaging was necessary for diagnosis. This case demonstrates the role radiological imaging plays in the workup of MBD.
马基亚法瓦-比尼亚米病（MBD）是一种罕见的维生素B缺乏症，典型地与酗酒有关。MBD会损害胼胝体，并表现出非特异性神经症状。放射影像学对于MBD的诊断及后续治疗的开展至关重要，后续治疗通常包括补充维生素B。我们报告一例患有酒精使用障碍、癫痫、精神分裂症、创伤后应激障碍和心血管危险因素的56岁男性的MBD病例。该患者出现了一般神经症状，根据患者病史有几种潜在诊断需要考虑。放射影像学对于诊断是必要的。本病例展示了放射影像学在MBD检查中的作用。
