This is the first report of acute Wernicke's encephalopathy in which characteristic magnetic resonance (MR) findings have been verified by postmortem histopathological examination. The high-signal areas surrounding the third and the fourth ventricles and the aqueduct on the T2-weighted images reflected the spongy disintegration of the neuropil, which is the typical pathological finding in Wernicke's encephalopathy. We confirmed that MR imaging is essential to the early diagnosis of Wernicke's encephalopathy.
这是首例急性韦尼克脑病报告，其特征性磁共振（MR）表现经尸检组织病理学检查得以证实。T2加权图像上第三、四脑室及导水管周围的高信号区反映了神经纤维网的海绵状解体，这是韦尼克脑病的典型病理表现。我们证实MR成像对韦尼克脑病的早期诊断至关重要。
