Abstract

Results of MRI in five alcoholics suffering from acute neurologic disorders such as ataxia, ophthalmoplegia and confusion are presented. The detection of focal cerebral lesions of high signal intensity in T2-weighted Spin-Echo- and Gradient-Echo-images in periventricular white matter, thalamus and pons combined with patients history and clinical presentation led to the diagnosis of Wernicke-Encephalopathia and Pontine Myelinolysis. MRI was far more sensitive compared with CT.
