Abstract

General & Internal Medicine Life Sciences & Biomedicine Medicine, General & Internal Science & Technology
Marchiafava-Bignami Disease (MBD) is considered to be a rare and severe complication of chronic alcohol abusers; atrophy and necrosis of the corpus callosum is the hallmark of the disease. We report a 32-year-old female who presented with headache and diplopia. A brain MRI showed high signal intensity in the splenium of the corpus callosum. This case supports the occurrence of MBD in non-alcoholic patients.
