Sixty adult patients with chronic alcoholism were examined by CT. Psychiatric and neurologic syndromes were given equal consideration. Pronounced brain atrophy was found in 75% of the cases. Cortical, as opposed to subcortical, atrophy was apparent in 64%; it was found especially in the frontotemporal region and cerebellum. Cases of Wernicke's encephalopathy as well as epileptic manifestations revealed global signs of atrophy, not restricted to the brain stem. Further correlations to problems of mental deficiency in alcoholism are discussed together with earlier results.
对60名成年慢性酒精中毒患者进行了CT检查。对精神和神经综合征给予同等考虑。75%的病例发现有明显的脑萎缩。64%的病例皮质萎缩明显，与皮质下萎缩相反；尤其在额颞叶区域和小脑发现。韦尼克脑病病例以及癫痫表现显示出整体萎缩迹象，并不局限于脑干。本文还结合早期结果讨论了与酒精中毒所致智力缺陷问题的进一步相关性。
