A patient with Marchiafava-Bignami disease as a complication of diabetes mellitus treated effectively with cortico steroid
2012, Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :The symptomatology is diverse, and MRI is helpful in diagnosis in the early stages of this disease.2 Although several cases of MBD have been reported in non-alcoholic patients, most instances of MBD have occurred as a result of malnutrition.3–9 We report a patient with MBD with no history of alcohol consumption or malnutrition with diabetes mellitus (DM).
Neuroimaging in postinfectious demyelination and nutritional disorders of the central nervous system
2011, Neuroimaging Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Cortical involvement may indicate poor prognosis even when thiamine is promptly administered. Initially described in male Italian alcoholics consuming large quantities of red wine, this rare condition is now recognized worldwide among poorly nourished alcoholics as well as nondrinkers with severe nutritional deficiency.70–74 Patients present acutely with sudden altered consciousness, seizures, hypertonia, and pyramidal signs, progressing rapidly to unconsciousness and death.
A non-alcoholic patient with acute Marchiafava-Bignami disease associated with gynecologic malignancy: Paraneoplastic Marchiafava-Bignami disease?
2007, Clinical Neurology and NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :It was first described in wine-drinking Italian men with bad nutritional habits and characterized by different neurological symptoms. However, MBD has since been observed among persons of many nationalities, with consumption of different types of alcohol and non-alcoholics [1–4]. MBD involves generally genu and body of the corpus callosum, but can also be seen in the extra-callosal structures, such as cerebral cortex, anterior commissure, centrum semiovale, cingulate gyrus, and middle cerebellar peduncles [5,6].
