摘要

A 52-year-old man with a 30-year history of chronic alcohol abuse presented withseizures and progressive cognitive decline. Brain MRI demonstrated symmetricdiffusion-weighted hyperintensities involving the genu, body, and splenium of thecorpus callosum, extending to the anterior commissure, with corresponding restricteddiffusion on the apparent diffusion coefficient map. These findings were consistent withMarchiafava–Bignami disease, reflecting a toxic–metabolic demyelinating processassociated with chronic alcohol exposure.
