Abstract |
We report a case of atypical manifestation of Wernicke's encephalopathy in a 74-year-old non-alcoholic woman. T2-weighted images demonstrated symmetrical distribution of hyperintense lesions in cerebellar dentate nuclei, tegmentum of the lower pons, red nuclei, tectum of the mid brain, medial thalami, and splenium of the corpus callosum. The hyperintense lesions except corpus callosum were markedly resolved on follow-up MR images. |
Key Words:
Brain MR. Brain, Wernicke's encephalopathy. |
