A 37-year-old woman developed Wernicke encephalopathy after prolonged psychogenic food refusal. MR revealed characteristic signal abnormalities in the midbrain and dorsal thalamus. Follow-up scans showed atrophy and third ventricular enlargement. Wernicke encephalopathy can occur in nonalcoholics, and MR imaging is useful in both the diagnosis and follow-up.
一名37岁女性在长期心因性拒食后患上韦尼克脑病。磁共振成像(MR)显示中脑和背侧丘脑有特征性信号异常。随访扫描显示萎缩和第三脑室扩大。韦尼克脑病可发生于非酗酒者,MR成像对诊断和随访均有帮助。
